Arista Networks has recently published a case study that introduces our joint project of rolling out an SDN-controlled media network for Rai Way, mentioning the importance of the DataMiner software and the incredible team behind it.
The Rai Way project
Leveraging the flexibility offered by a full-IP software-defined media network orchestrated by DataMiner, Rai Way has implemented a completely new contribution and distribution infrastructure for its video and audio network.
This includes a transformation to IP video transport and switching over a quadruple redundant network for optimum reliability, supporting both compressed and uncompressed SMPTE ST-2110 and ST-2022-6/7 signals.
Moreover, the intuitive DataMiner software control surfaces enable Rai Way operators to easily provision services and route media flows in multiple ways.

Arista and DataMiner, a great combo
“‘The Arista solution is proven and well established within the media and entertainment sector with successful deployments at major broadcasters across Europe’, explains Thomas Gunkel, Market Director Broadcast at Skyline Communications. ‘It delivers high performance and scalable capacity while supporting open standards that work well with SDN platforms such as DataMiner.’”
“The DataMiner orchestration and SDN controller operates end to end, controlling edge gateway functions including IP MC routing, NAT, and firewall security automation across both the new Arista network equipment and Rai Way’s multiple legacy networking vendors.”
