Auckland, New Zealand, December 14, 2022 – Portainer.io announced today that they have signed a strategic partnership with LiveSwitch, the critical video infrastructure provider that powers real-time communications experiences on the web.
The partnership enables Portainer and LiveSwitch to better serve clients who are building and managing cloud native applications that include interactive real-time video streaming.
Through the partnership, Portainer clients can seamlessly leverage LiveSwitch’s live video streaming infrastructure, built on WebRTC, to embed high-quality, ultra-low latency interactive video, audio, and data into their applications.
“The benefits of partnering with Portainer were evident to our team very quickly,” said LiveSwitch CEO and Co-Founder Jerod Venema. “LiveSwitch involves a number of complex systems that have to scale up and down dynamically, at extreme scale, with massive throughput and a tremendously low tolerance for any sort of latency. This complexity lends itself well to a powerful container management platform such as Portainer,” Venema added.
The recent and significant increases in both the number of applications that include live video and the demand for low-code and no-code ways to manage software applications led to opportunities and synergies between the organizations.
“Software containers are a key driver of digital transformation,” said Tobias Mühlnikel, CPO & CTO of Portainer’s Edge Business Unit. “After getting to know LiveSwitch’s innovative live video streaming infrastructure that relies on software containers, the synergies were quickly identified. Portainer as an easy-to-use and secure container management platform enables LiveSwitch to scale, no matter if the customer would like to have its infrastructure on-premise or cloud-based.“
LiveSwitch powers some of the largest video experiences on the web for companies like Adobe and Deutsche Telekom. It also recently signed a partnership with Akamai to provide WebRTC capabilities for Akamai cloud computing based on Linode.
