In both live and linear broadcasting service interruptions - whether caused by hardware failure, cyberattacks, natural disasters, or human error - can lead to lost revenue, damaged brand trust, and failed compliance. Veset Nimbus provides a reliable, cloud-native disaster recovery playout solution that ensures your channels stay on air under any circumstances. From 24/7 linear feeds to time-sensitive live events, we help you build operational resilience with a scalable, software-defined backup strategy.
Legacy disaster recovery models often depend on expensive duplicate infrastructure and complex data center failover processes. Veset Nimbus eliminates these limitations with a fully virtualized, cloud-native approach. You can replicate your main channel’s playout environment - including schedules, assets, branding, and ad configurations - and spin up backup channels in real time from any location, without the need for physical hardware or a secondary playout facility.
A cloud-based disaster recovery solution provides the flexibility and resilience broadcasters need by removing reliance on a single physical location or vulnerable infrastructure. Veset Nimbus enables rapid channel failover in minutes, offers geographic redundancy through global cloud infrastructure, and supports real-time mirroring of content and schedules. Its versatile design accommodates live, linear, and OTT workflows, while operational control is maintained through an intuitive web interface and robust APIs. Fully compliant with disaster recovery standards and uptime SLAs, Veset Nimbus delivers tailored redundancy solutions to support everything from a single national channel to a full portfolio of FAST or OTT services.
Veset Nimbus offers a robust set of features specifically designed to support reliable, efficient, and scalable disaster recovery for broadcast operations.
