WHY THOMSON FINANCIAL?
Reliability
No other provider can guarantee the same level of reliability.
Part of Thomson Financial's success is attributed to the attention paid to developing maximum levels of redundancy for both live and archived webcast services. Thomson Financial's Streaming Operations Centre ("SOC") is located at the regional head office in Pyrmont Sydney. The SOC is the World's largest and most technologically advanced live internet streaming broadcast facility.
When a client contracts Thomson Financial to webcast an event, Thomson Financial technical staff (at the event location) provide a high quality compressed audio/video signal that feeds directly to the SOC in Sydney. From the SOC, Thomson Financial sends live data to our own servers that relay the feeds directly onto the Internet via multiple carrier networks. Traffic loads are balanced between Thomson Financial server farms installed in Australia & the US.
Thomson Financial SOC
The SOC is manned by professionally qualified streaming technicians, delivering live webcasts via equipment that includes Broadcast VCRs, DVD players, high-end graphic equalisers, audio compressors, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), video processing equipment, Cisco routers
and HP rack-mounted servers.
Thomson Financial can deliver up to 12 live concurrent webcasts from any location worldwide.
