RTL2 is among the many long-standing clients of genua. An interesting interview with Reinhard G rtners, CEO and founder, RTL2 Fernsehen GmbH & CO., RTL2: As an internet company, what special considerations do you need with regards to your IT infrastructure? What are some challenges you currently face in your business and your personal life?
For me as a media company owner, I need to consider the amount of bandwidth I need for all the files I want to transfer over the internet. I also need to consider how many people from my team will be working remotely at one time. The great thing about this software is that it has an application that can automatically generate rules based on the traffic that is coming through the network. This way I don't have to sit and manually add the rules to the management station.
With RTL2, I can easily configure the channel on my ROKR (Real-time Ready Language) server and use RTL to manage the subscriber list and bandwidths on the system. By doing this, anytime I have a subscriber I can create a direct connection between our server and his/her application. After six months of testing, we have found that RTL2 provides the most accurate representation of German prime-time TV. The software has also significantly reduced the installation time of our RTSP server.
