Vizrt has completed the AWS FTR process for Viz One. Achieving FTR status provides broadcasters further reassurance that its centralized and scalable media asset management platform can be safely migrated to the cloud.

The FTR program helps AWS Partners, like Vizrt, to establish good architectural habits, eliminate risk, and to demonstrate specific best practices around security, reliability, and operational excellence as defined by the AWS Well-Architected Framework. All of this is designed to ensure software runs smoothly on AWS cloud platforms, providing customers with the best possible experience.

Vizrt says completing Viz One’s FTR process solidifies its close partnership with AWS. The move follows last year’s FTR completion of the Vizrt Live Production Solution, and Vizrt’s recent acceptance into the AWS Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program.

Viz One makes it simple and easy to ingest, manage, edit, and deliver content effortlessly and cost-effectively, according to the company. Hosting it in the cloud offers scalability, flexibility, and redundancy otherwise unachievable with traditional on-premises solutions—providing broadcasters with a media workflow solution that scales as needed.

“Achieving this FTR status demonstrates Vizrt’s commitment to cloud and assures Viz One customers that they can safely migrate invaluable archives and workflows to AWS, as TVNZ and PGA TOUR have done,” said Jochen Bergdolt, head of Vizrt’s MAM Business Unit. “Combined with previous FTR completions and joining the prestigious ISV Accelerate Program, content creators and broadcasters can have full cloud confidence across Vizrt’s live production and MAM tools, knowing that they meet AWS’s strict software and security standards—ensuring better success for our customers and end users, reaching our purpose of more stories, better told.”
