NetActuate Partners with NETINT for Efficient Video Processing in Global Cloud Deployments
In a significant development for cloud-scale video processing, NetActuate, a prominent player in global edge infrastructure, has teamed up with NETINT Technologies. This partnership pivots towards integrating high-performance video processing solutions into the cloud, which is being heralded by many as a transformative step in the media and streaming industry. The essence of this collaboration lies in leveraging NETINT's advanced Video Processing Units (VPUs), which are specifically tailored for modern video applications.
The announcement reveals that media platforms, developers, and SaaS providers can now utilize hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding capabilities on NetActuate's extensive global infrastructure, which spans over 45 Points of Presence (PoPs) across major media markets worldwide. This partnership is designed to address increasing demand for efficient video processing solutions as streaming services continue to expand both in capacity and audience engagement.
Randal Horne, the Chief Revenue Officer at NETINT Technologies, shared insights on the transition from traditional CPU-based video processing to VPU-enhanced methods. He noted, "As the video industry shifts, streamers are now on the lookout for platforms that support VPU integration." By collaborating with NetActuate, developers and media platforms are equipped with the tools necessary to validate NETINT's offerings, allowing for accelerated project deployments while evidencing enhanced performance and cost efficiency.
At the heart of the offering are the NETINT Quadra Video Processing Units, which will be available at NetActuate's disposal as a self-service acceleration option. This innovation includes a varied array of deployment configurations such as cloud, managed Kubernetes, and bare metal servers. Streamlined workflows are made possible by offloading demanding computing tasks to VPUs, which reduces the workload on traditional CPUs. Users can have immediate access to dedicated hardware acceleration through NetActuate's portal and API-driven platform, facilitating seamless integration into existing systems.
This service promises not only to expedite deployment but also serves as a cost-effective solution, minimizing the total cost of ownership for agencies. With pricing that starts as low as $0.237 per hour for the Quadra T1A-enabled virtual machines (VMs), organizations are offered one of the industry's best deals for sustained use of video processing.
As highlighted by Mark Mahle, the CEO of NetActuate, the market demand for VPUs has seen an exponential increase. By offering VPU as-a-service, the collaboration aims to cover the crucial gap in high-performance video processing solutions needed by clients today. "This makes it easy for our customers to validate, deploy, and optimize their video processing capabilities efficiently."
To further entice developers and media companies, NetActuate is presenting a $500 infrastructure credit to newcomers who opt for NETINT's VPU-enabled workloads, creating a risk-free environment to test hardware-accelerated video processing and deployment possibilities.
The partnership will be showcased at NAB 2026, taking place in Las Vegas from April 19-22, where attendees will have opportunities to explore this innovative video acceleration technology first-hand.
