Layercake takes digital media to the cloud with Oracle

The Australian digital engineering company Layercake is bringing its broadcast and digital media solutions to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Customers now have greater flexibility to drive innovation with Streamcake, Layercake’s media orchestration and automation platform, which now runs on OCI.

Streamcake lets broadcasters, media companies and other live event producers unify broadcast production, streaming and automation on a single cloud platform. With this technology, users can simplify content management and delivery, and enhance the quality of live and on-demand video experiences.

With Streamcake running on OCI, Layercake is able to expand its multi-cloud strategy. Meanwhile, customers can leverage the scalability and security of OCI for livestreams, video-on-demand generation and publishing.

By leveraging platforms like Grass Valley’s GV Agile Media Processing Platform (AMPP), Ant Media and Bitmovin, Streamcake can power broadcast and digital media production. It can also orchestrate compute, storage, networking, captions, AI/ML overlays and monetisation workflows, giving broadcasters and content owners simplified operations.

“Media organisations are under pressure to deliver broadcast-quality content at digital speed and scale,” says Padraig O’Donovan, CEO of Layercake. “Streamcake not only modernises production workflows but also unlocks new commercial models for broadcasters, sports leagues and digital platforms worldwide.”

“Content is king and media companies are moving faster than ever to cloud-based production and automation to stay ahead,” concludes Chris Chelliah, senior vice president of technology at Oracle Japan and Asia-Pacific. With global sports rights holders, broadcasters and digital platforms embracing multi-cloud strategies, the combination of Layercake and OCI has never been more important for cloud-native media operations.
