Why It Matters
Since the introduction of cross-platform viewing, video architectures have evolved from monolithic TV Everywhere implementations to hybrid cloud platforms with virtualized infrastructure. Quickplay is spearheading a next-generation architecture – Gen5 – that is designed to build and run scalable applications in the cloud.
Gen5 harnesses the power of cloud-native technologies, including containers, microservices, a service mesh, APIs, and immutable infrastructure. The technology stack provides significantly better performance, a modular approach for feature expansion, continuous delivery for rapid iteration, and built-in scalability, observability and security. Gen5 is a future-proof strategy that meets the demands of high concurrency, low latency, and resiliency expected of OTT video, while optimizing cloud infrastructure spend.
Gen5 delivers 40% + savings over legacy architecture

Gen5 offers breakthrough benefits in five key areas
High Performance
Maximum operational speed/efficiency, i.e. 10X faster microservices.
Extensible
Ready-made extensions and quick starts for off-the-shelf or custom integrations.
Agile
CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation replace long upgrade cycles with rapid innovation.
Built-in Scalability
Robust, redundant, fail-proof architecture supports live, high-concurrency events.
Lower TCO
Cloud economics reduces costs and effort by 40% or more.
