cloudSwXtch is a virtual overlay network that adds feature rich, high-performance networking to cloud or edge deployments with no code changes to existing applications. cloudSwXtch enables advanced features previously unavailable in the cloud including Precision Time Protocol (PTP) timing, multicast feeds, High Availability Architectures, and dynamic ground-to-cloud bridging, enabling companies to scale without limitation with minimal network latency. The planned future addition of PTP timing to Google Cloud is of specific interest as it provides accurate timing for video and audio synchronization in the cloud.
Customers that deploy cloudSwXtch on Google Cloud can enable specific use cases that leverage the cloud, such as, Channel Assembly and Distribution, Network Path Redundancy, Live Production, Remote Production Collaboration, and Cloud-Path Optimization with Multicast. At NAB, swXtch.io and Google Cloud representatives will describe these and other use cases in detail and discuss how the two companies deliver end-to-end, high-bandwidth uncompressed video applications for customers.
