Delivering SD and HD digital content for traditional television broadcast and in multiple formats, such as IPTV and mobile devices, MediaHub relies on MapR and its partner, Contexti, to cost effectively manage its growing content repository and to support future analytic services.

As a business, we really strive to be at the absolute leading edge of the technology available for this industry,” said Alan Sweeney, CEO, MediaHub. “When MediaHub expanded its level of service from that of pure playback to offering full digital end-to-end management for our clients – encompassing media asset management, archive and  transcoding of content and delivery – we knew that we needed to develop an innovative archive system that would meet our current and future needs. That’s where MapR came in.

MapR gives us a way of building our own tailored archive system, but with the future capacity to leverage the archive for big data analysis, which we could turn into an added benefit for our clients. We have a lot of clients who are trying to work out what they can do with their data and now we’ve positioned ourselves as being in front of their needs,” said Simon Scott, head of technology, MediaHub. “With MapR in place, we have a high-performance, highly scalable platform to enable data analytics for our clients’ businesses – whenever they’re ready to do so.”

MediaHub Australia currently delivers over 171 channels to the Australian metropolitan and regional markets. Since it implemented its archive, the amount of content managed by MapR has doubled in size to 1PB – and is expected to increase over the next eighteen months. With a digital end-to-end management solution, MediaHub can leverage its MapR-based Hadoop architecture to also analyze content usage patterns and help clients make data-driven business decisions.

The massive growth of content in the media and entertainment industry is pushing the limits of traditional data management systems,” said Justin Bock, country manager, ANZ at MapR. “We’re excited to have innovative companies like MediaHub on board. The company is successfully tackling the challenges of big data today and building a foundation to enable new services to further differentiate themselves in the future.
