Sorenson Media today announced the availability of its Sorenson Squeeze Server, a customizable, scalable video encoding solution that enables enterprises, post-production facilities, developers and video professionals to encode video in a secure, cloud-based environment.

Built on Amazon Web Services infrastructure, Squeeze Server relies on dedicated instances to provide video processing, so there is no need to worry about data pipelines being clogged by the demands of other high-volume users. Couple that with Squeeze Server's 99.9 percent uptime guarantee and you've got an enterprise ready solution worth checking out.

“For the enterprise, web developers and any other video professionals with high volume needs, Squeeze Server is the answer to the often painful prospect of tackling multiple encoding jobs — a cost-effective alternative to spending a fortune on data center-based hardware, software development and ongoing maintenance,” said Peter Csathy, Sorenson Media’s CEO.

“Squeeze Server turns all that on its head by offering our customers the ease of setup and use and the benefit of our proven video encoding expertise in the cloud. We also give our customers the peace of mind of knowing that we’ve covered all the bases in supporting the widest array of formats, while utilizing only officially sanctioned and licensed codecs. We solve the pain of encoding and publishing the highest quality video — that is our job, so that our customers can focus on growing their business.”
