Video streaming service Hulu and data analytics business FICO have announced they will be using AWS to host their applications, offering enhanced security, flexibility and reliability.
Hulu has implemented AWS to run its OTT live service, allowing more than 50 live channels to be added to its Hulu with Live TV service. The company required the reliable infrastructure to ensure its service would be able to manage user demand at even the most busy times.
“Leaders in media and entertainment like Hulu are looking for more efficient ways to build scalable streaming and OTT solutions,” said Mike Clayville, vice president of worldwide commercial sales at AWS.
“AWS’s unmatched scalability and reliability allow Hulu to continue to innovate and break new ground – like delivering live TV alongside their extensive on-demand programming – without having to spend millions of dollars and thousands of person hours building and managing data centers.”
Meanwhile, FICO has migrated a number of its applications, including myFICO.com and the Decision Management Suite (DMS), with other applications planned for migration over the next three years. Using the cloud means the company has the facilities to scale fast, with the security and compliance the business is seeking at its fingertips.
“When we started to plan for our digital transformation, time to value, velocity, scalability, cost control and security were our top priorities," Jeet Kaul, VP of engineering at FICO, said. "AWS’s experience with other companies in highly regulated industries, combined with its industry leading technology, made AWS the obvious choice for FICO."
He added he move will allow FICO to take a cloud-first approach, rather than relying on legacy infrastructure that isn't suited for fast growth.
"This will allow us to get out of the business of building data centers, so we can continue our 60-plus-year history of pioneering data and analytics software to help businesses improve the precision, consistency, and agility of their complex decisions.”
