LMX CLOUD
What is LMX Cloud?
LMX Cloud was born out of our London Media Exchange platform. Initially intended as a point to point network service for the Broadcast and Media Sector, LMX has evolved over time into a complete Cloud Software offering that assists Broadcast and Media customers on their journey to Cloud-Native.
For example, if you want to run a Broadcast as a Service (BaaS) platform, by adopting a Cloud Native approach you can rent cloud infrastructure such as networking, encoding, decoding and storage, on demand, in a pay-as-you-go model, and we help take the headache and cost of building and provisioning resources.
“LMX Cloud combines traditional broadcast functions with a secure private cloud environment that enables functionality and accelerated digital workflows to suit the strategic business requirements of your industry. ”
From Bare Metal…
If you are just starting out, we recognise that adopting a Cloud-Native approach can be hugely daunting. Even if you are running bare metal servers with no orchestration and no SDN – LMX Cloud enables you to continue to run services on top of bare metal, while giving you cloud-like functionality and automation when it comes to deploying and configuring your bare metal servers.
To, some cloud with Virtualisation…For customers that have already begun virtualising services within their infrastructure, we can provide you with an infrastructure product that will continue to allow you to virtualise all of your data centre, including the storage, the networking and the compute with the added benefit of containerisation.
And finally, to Cloud Native.
Our data structured approach brings the compute to the data through containerisation. Containerising and create micro-services of your required applications makes it easier for IT teams to develop scalable infrastructure in-house. With LMX Cloud, you can update, run and manage the different components of your architecture as micro services all under 1 roof.
WHAT DOES IT INCLUDE?
Containers & Micro Services
LMX Cloud gives Broadcast and Media Customers the ability to containerise mission critical applications and manage these containers using Kubernetes. Update, run and manage the different components of your architecture as micro services all under one roof via an easy to use interface.
API Driven, IP Infrastructure
If you want to run a BaaS platform (Broadcast as a Service), legacy service providers can mean involving teams having to re-cable and put in physical servers before rolling out software stacks. By embracing a software defined infrastructure, you can provision services much faster and easier.
Software Defined Network (SDN)
LMX Cloud is on-net with over 650 globally connected DCs. Using virtual cross connect technology, LMX Cloud customers can avail of our dark fibre network as well as virtual point to point connectivity without the need for expensive, in-flexible permanent circuits. Find out more about our point to point (LMX Live) and our dark fibre network (LMX Connect) capabilities here.
Cloud Applications
LMX Cloud has integrated an optimised media stack for its video-centric cloud deployments. Seamlessly provision transcode engines to meet your data demands and add and remove resource in a matter of seconds via our management interface.
Cloud Storage
LMX Cloud scale-out storage architecture enables collaboration and the distribution of work worldwide to lower cost resource pools. Utilising container-based applications and remote editing workstations, our platform provides instant access to customer data from anywhere, while eliminating media shipping costs.
