ZEN Master already provides media companies and service providers visibility to multiple layers of telemetry with the architectural flexibility to orchestrate and interoperate with other systems and infrastructures at regional and global scale. Recent additional integrations have extended ZEN Master to include support for more sophisticated AWS Media Services workflows, enabling ZEN Master to seamlessly manage live video delivery through AWS Elemental MediaLive for advanced processing, including transcoding and stream packaging optimized for OTT video services.  ZEN Master is integrated with AWS Elemental Link devices, enabling operational control and management.

Unmatched performance is achieved with bandwidth optimized live stream bonding and industry leading hitless failover across any channel configuration and IP infrastructure. The SDVP also includes access to the Intelligent Data Platform (IDP), leveraging trained AI/ML analysis with predictive Zixi Health Score and performance anomaly detection across enormous volumes of telemetry data automating incident detection and report generation, enabling customizable and shareable RCA reporting including Zixi Blast Radius impacts analysis. 

“Deploying in AWS Marketplace provides our mutual customers with very flexible pricing and everything on a single bill,” said John Wastcoat, SVP Alliances and Marketing, Zixi. “With private offers that shorten procurement cycles while maintaining the direct relationship with the vendor it has benefits for vendor and customer alike.”
