Phenix's platform-as-a-service allows Nomad customers to add real-time video streaming without building out their own video delivery infrastructure.

Phenix Real-Time Solutions and Nomad are pleased to announce their partnership, which simplifies the already difficult business of building industry-leading interactive video experiences.

With Nomad's intuitive cloud-based content and asset management platform and Phenix's unique platform-as-a-service to real-time video at scale, adding interactive, live video has never been easier.

What can customers accomplish with the solution?

This industry-first partnership streamlines content management through video delivery as a managed service, allowing customers to focus on innovation, user experience and bringing high-quality interactive video experiences to market instead of managing infrastructure reliability and uptime. 

Kyle Bank, COO of Phenix, states: “We love Nomad's approach and their vision of creating a platform that lets users focus on media rather than the technology behind it. We're thrilled to be part of an industry-leading ecosystem making it easier for content creators to produce, distribute and monetize content without becoming technologists in order to do so.”

Nomad’s latest product updates enable customers to create events, manage complex schedules, and automate workflows without writing any code.

Phenix's cloud-based infrastructure with autonomic scaling is essential for broadcasters looking to deliver ultra-low latency experiences without compromising quality or ad revenue with Phenix's industry first real-time SSAI. The elastic nature of Phenix's architecture provides scalability without requiring large capital investment or ongoing operating expenses. 

With Phenix and Nomad, adding real-time streaming is as easy as creating a channel on Nomad, publishing to that channel, and running an event. The integration includes Phenix's EdgeAuth library for authentication with control over publishing and viewing permissions.

Phenix's zero-ops architecture uses AI to detect and correct faults without requiring human intervention, while its elastic design and patented dynamic scalability features provisions the resource based on the audience size without requiring upfront commitments. No capacity planning, support staff, or uptime monitoring – zero headaches with real-time video as a service within your Nomad portal.

Nomad Founder and CEO, Adam Miller, says: “We've been impressed with how well-designed the Phenix platform is; they've clearly taken great care in designing a system that intelligently scales to audiences of all sizes with rapid join rates without buffering, freezing or crashing.”

Adam adds, “We also love that Phenix's cloud-based platform simplifies deployment for our customers. Best of all, you only pay for what you use, when you use it. No need for commitments around max audience sizes or concerns about larger than expected broadcast audiences.”

The ability to deliver streaming video to millions with less than ½ second of end-to-end latency is now available with Phenix Real-Time Solutions in the Nomad platform. With this upgrade, customers can:

  • Add broadcast-quality interactive live video to audiences worldwide with sub-500 milliseconds of end-to-end latency.
  • Deliver industry-leading interactive experiences with self-healing infrastructure, autonomic scaling, and synchronized video delivery.
  • Serve broad audiences with a global private fiber network and multi-device support using Web Standard-certified WebRTC that works directly in all modern browsers on any laptop, tablet, smartphone, or browser-enabled device.

Phenix vastly reduces the planning required to add interactive real-time video to any service or application. Its multi-cloud infrastructure, private fiber and global network with more PoPs than any other video delivery provider brings unmatched resiliency and availability.

Phenix Co-Founder and Chief Software Architect, Dr. Stefan Birrer, says: “We focus on speed, scale, security and superior viewing experiences. We're pleased to offer real-time streaming, out of the box, thanks to our partnership with Nomad.

Nomad has done an incredible job by making it easy for their customers to distribute and monetize media libraries - and now adding interactive real-time video has never been easier.”

‍Phenix's commitment to high-quality viewing experiences to global audiences with industry-leading latency at scale is clear in its patented technology portfolio:

  • Dynamically provisions resources to handle rapid join rates and flash crowds. The platform regularly supports join rates of 10,000+ per second. No need to commit to audience sizes or max join rates - we’re there when you need us.
  • Delivers superior viewing experiences with real-time transcoding for adaptive bitrate streaming that reduces start-up times, optimizes switching time between resolution and bitrate layers, and ensures viewers receive the best possible video and audio quality based on their real-time network conditions.
  • Powers next-generation digital experiences with synchronized viewing across all devices regardless of location or network conditions, using patented SyncWatchTM technology.
