Ateme, Qvest and Scaleway have announced a collaboration to provide production-ready sovereign OTT platforms built entirely on European technology.
Combining Scaleway’s sovereign cloud infrastructure with Ateme’s video solutions and Qvest’s systems integration, consultancy and managed services expertise, the solution aims to provide media organisations with enhanced control over their OTT platforms, data and technology strategies.
Designed to meet the needs of broadcasters facing increasing regulatory requirements and pressure to reduce dependency on non-European cloud providers, the solution provides all the components needed to build and operate a sovereign OTT platform from ingest, encoding, and packaging to content delivery, DRM, analytics, and frontend integration.
Users are able to launch new streaming services, migrate existing environments or rely on Qvest’s managed services, said the companies.
The partnership aligns with the European Union’s Cloud Sovereignty Framework (CSF) and its SEAL sovereignty model. Each platform is tailored by Qvest to meet the specific needs of respective tenders, aiming to achieve the highest practical level of technical sovereignty.
Tobias Künkel, MD at Qvest Engage, a subsidiary of Qvest Group, said, “The growing awareness and demand around digital sovereignty has moved beyond strategy. Now, broadcasters need solutions that can be implemented. Together with Ateme and Scaleway, we are bringing production-ready sovereign OTT platforms to broadcasters that combine operational maturity with European sovereignty.“
“Digital sovereignty is becoming a strategic priority for broadcasters across Europe,” said Rémi Beaudouin, chief strategy officer at Ateme. “The combination of Ateme’s proven video technology, Scaleway’s European cloud infrastructure and Qvest’s integration expertise gives media organisations a practical path to modernise their OTT platforms while maintaining greater control over their infrastructure, operations and data.“
“Europe has all the capabilities required to support the next generation of streaming services. The real challenge is bringing them together in a way that broadcasters can adopt with confidence. This OTT platform turns strategic autonomy into a practical choice by combining proven European cloud and streaming technologies within a complete operational environment. It gives media organisations greater control over their infrastructure and long-term technology decisions,” added Damien Lucas, CEO of Scaleway.
