Kyle Bank, COO of Phenix, states: “We love Nomad’s groundbreaking approach and their vision of creating a platform that allows users to focus on the media itself rather than the complexities of the technology behind it. We’re thrilled to be part of an industry-leading ecosystem focused on making it easier for content creators to focus on producing, distributing and monetizing content without having to become technologists in order to so.”

Nomad Media’s latest product updates enable customers to create events, manage complex schedules, and automate workflows without writing any code.

Phenix’s cloud-based infrastructure with autonomic scaling is essential for delivering content in real-time that engages global audiences with interactive experiences at broadcast scale. The elastic nature of Phenix’s architecture provides confidence in scalability without requiring burdensome capital investment or ongoing operating expenses.

With Nomad Media and Phenix, adding real-time streaming is as easy as creating a channel on Nomad Media, publishing to that channel, and running an event. The integration includes Phenix’s EdgeAuth library for authentication with control over publishing and viewing permissions.

We also love that Phenix’s cloud-based platform is designed as a managed service offering and simplifies deployment for our customers. Best of all, you only pay for what you use, when you use it. it.
