SCENARIO
Sky Italia, one of the largest media companies in Italy, with more than 4.8 million platform subscribers, faced a significant technical challenge when it made the decision to transcode its full catalogue (more than 5,000 videos) in high definition. The situation was not complex only for the fact that the operation would have required four times the amount of CPU used for standard videos, but also because of the rather aggressive timelines: the project had to be completed in the span of just a few weeks. Sky Italia therefore needed a new resource as part of its infrastructure in order to be able to meet the timeline: the company selected Go Reply, a Google Premier Partner, and the Google Cloud Platform.
