Origin Digital
​​​Business Situation
​Origin Digital wanted to increase transcoding throughput without increasing capital expense. To gain dynamic scalability within a familiar development environment, the company built an innovative transcoding application called Cloudcoder on the Windows Azure™ platform.
​
​Solution
Origin Digital engaged Avanade, along with partners Accenture and Microsoft, to build a custom transcoding application called “Cloudcoder”. Cloudcoder was deployed as a “cloud” service—delivered over the Internet and hosted in a separate data centre. Working with Avanade, the Origin Digital development team explored the architecture and the cost structure of both Amazon Web Services and the Windows Azure™ platform before selecting the Windows Azure platform. The Avanade team assisted with the design and development of the Cloudcoder application on the new architecture.
​
​Results
​By building the Cloudcoder on the Windows Azure platform, Origin Digital gained real-time scalability and helped reduce administration, time-to-market and costs. The application will help reduce compute costs and database administration time as well as expedite moves into new geographic markets.
