TAG Video Systems and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure expand cloud options for broadcast monitoring

TAG Video Systems announced a collaboration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to certify OCI as a platform for deploying its IP-native Realtime Media Platform. The certification enables broadcasters to deploy TAG’s monitoring suite on OCI at various scales.

TAG Video Systems said the partnership supports its cloud strategy by allowing users to deploy workflows on multiple cloud platforms or hybrid environments. Golan Simani, director of cloud and tech operations at TAG Video Systems, said the addition of OCI support reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to adapt to new infrastructures and technologies.

OCI offers a free egress tier and bandwidth pricing that differs from typical hyperscaler rates. The platform provides deterministic network performance and flexible compute resources designed for continuous broadcast workloads. Kip Schauer of OCI Media Services said OCI is designed to meet the performance and cost needs of media and entertainment organizations.

The TAG Realtime Media Platform is now certified on OCI, with plans to bring the full TAG product portfolio to the platform. Broadcasters using OCI will have access to a production-validated monitoring stack integrated into OCI-based workflows.

The collaboration offers broadcasters end-to-end IP-native signal visibility from ingest to playout on cloud infrastructure optimized for media workloads. It also provides scalable compute resources that accommodate live broadcast demands without overprovisioning. TAG and OCI will jointly support deployments for broadcasters transitioning from on-premises or other cloud environments.
