Vantage Intelligence. Virtual Infrastructure. Rapid Scaling

Does your infrastructure strategy include embracing private cloud, public cloud, and/or on-premise workflows and automation? Virtual infrastructure allows you to deploy software instances easily and dynamically based on your changing business needs, however, this advancement isn’t very useful if your software can't intelligently respond to the new capacity.

Vantage can run on public and private virtualized infrastructure with a proven multi-node orchestration engine that intelligently capitalizes on the flexibility of virtual infrastructure. Modern innovations in Private Cloud and Public Cloud datacenter tech, paired with Vantage’s reactive multi-node orchestration, allows you to gain the ultimate in flexibility and efficiency for your demanding media needs.

A Customer Story:

“Vantage Elastic Domain is one of the most elegant and sophisticated virtualized GPU environments available. By installing this, we can continue to grow our Vantage networks and position our hardware-based Vantage systems where they are most useful within our workflows.”—Boris Berson, Deputy CTO at Atlantis Television.

How does it work?

Vantage uses its powerful orchestration features and intelligent automation to utilize the computing nodes composing a Vantage domain. Elastic Domain introduces new deployment features and licensing options to support rapid scaling of these instances in order to meet peaks in throughput demand.

  • Vantage Orchestration:
    Vantage domains use a centralized database that contains all workflow designs—and all aspects of their configuration. Worker nodes then connect to this database on startup and dynamically orchestrate job execution based on the state of the overall domain. Our best-in-breed workflow engine and load balancing intelligently make every decision at runtime to ensure best utilization of available resources.
  • Vantage Worker Nodes:
    Vantage workers are deployed as x86-based VM images, that can be deployed from a single master image. Upon startup, new workers are automatically assigned tasks and increase throughput. Vantage domain scaling is achieved simply by deploying additional copies of the worker image. The only configuration needed for worker images is setting the location of the Vantage database—all other configuration is centralized. Additionally, Vantage offers a rich REST API providing usage statics for customers wishing to automate the footprint scaling of their Vantage domain.

Elastic Domain licensing

elastic domain daily licenses

Vantage Elastic Domain offers flexible licensing options that intelligently support scaling system size up and down. You can mix and match perpetual licenses with a "Daily Bursting" model, allowing your Vantage system to expand during peak demand, while retaining a predictable base cost of perpetual licenses for standard operational levels. A cost-effective rental fee is charged daily for additional nodes not covered by the perpetual license.

  • Vantage licensing is managed centrally
  • Individual licenses don't need to be managed for worker nodes
  • Additional nodes can be “spun up” (added to the Domain) on-demand
  • Other flexible licensing options will be available in the future; contact Telestream for information
