Molotov Selects Scality RING

Scality, Inc. announced that SAS Molotov TV, which was designated Best App of the year by both Apple and Google, expanded it object storage back-end to its media content repository.

Molotov depends on Scality as a core component of its multi-million subscriber solution, enabling customers to watch programming where and when they want to. In a business where user experience is as important as content itself, the television streaming service keeps subscribers watching without interruption.

“Molotov is a new vision of television distribution, reinventing the daily pleasure of watching TV. We distribute television networks and channel offerings in a way never done before, providing a user experience that is second to none,” said Thomas Sangouard, CIO, Molotov. “Using Scality RING as our storage system ensures that content retrieval is quick and efficient and is always available. Subscribers get what they want, where and when they want it.“

Just a year after its launch, Molotov supports multi-million users who demand smooth content delivery. RING satisfies with storage expansion and interruption-free upgrades with no perceived bottlenecks. Bottom line: the latter-day television pioneer provides ‘television everywhere’ with the help of RING.

“The requirement for real-time content delivery without interruption, makes Scality RING indispensable to Molotov’s service,” said Erwan Menard, president and COO, Scality. “Scaling along with business requirements and interruption-free hot upgrades with no impact on service is testament to the power of Scality RING for media and entertainment environments that demand zero downtime.“
