Crunch services are also available as APIs for developers. With its technological advantage and massive reach through the Oracle relationship, Crunch is well-positioned to take on the likes of Mux.com and Agora.io to not only gain significant market share but to also capture a leading position within the next three years.
“Video is omnipresent and yet there is a massive gap between what our devices are capable of providing and the services we use. At Crunch, we continue to invest in and prioritize innovation to bridge that gap. That, combined with Oracle’s technology and reach, gives us an advantage in the market,” said Amit Ramchandran, CEO of Crunch Mediaworks.
“Without our solution deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, service providers will find it very difficult to control streaming costs as we transition from 1080p to 4K and then to 8K,” said Masoud Ghafouri, COO of Crunch Mediaworks.
“Crunch Mediaworks’ commitment to innovation, combined with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s efficiency, will help deliver state-of-the art video optimization and encoding solutions,” said David Hicks, Vice President, Worldwide ISV Cloud Business Development, Oracle. “We look forward to partnering with Crunch to make Crunch Video Optimizer on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure a key solution for video optimization.”
