Sky is Europe’s leading entertainment company, serving 23 million customers across seven countries — UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. The company offers European television viewers the best and broadest range of content and uses innovative technology to deliver customers a better TV viewing experience, whenever and wherever they choose. To advance this, Sky UK wanted to virtualize its two playout facilities, providing cohesion for operators, leading to better performance, operational efficiencies and the elimination of errors.
