In this way Mediaset Premium uses only the resources needed at any given time, optimising costs on a “best effort” intelligent scheme. On the basis of the demand of those who want to use the service, the platform dynamically adapts the technological infrastructure capacity needed to ensure the vision of the streamed matches.

Mediaset Premium Play combines the intelligence and the power of the Video Solution (AVS) by Accenture platform, with the modularity, scalability and capabilities of Amazon Cloud Web Services. The service is now attracting some 600,000 unique users per month – doubling the total registered when the service was introduced in July last year.

The collaboration between Mediaset and Accenture revolves around a streaming video service called Mediaset Premium Play, which is available in Italy on more than 300 types of devices, including smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes, connected TVs and games consoles. Since the launch of the service, monthly unique visitor numbers are reported to have doubled. Italy’s Mediaset Premium is now using Accenture technology to broadcast Champions League matches to fans watching on the Internet. The move came after DAZN secured rights to 114 Serie A matches over the three years from 2018 and announced that it was launching its service in the country.By Roberto Landini, Italian Correspondent Last year, Mediaset struck a deal with Perform Group, owner of DAZN, to provide access to the service as part of its Premium Calcio offeringfor a reduced overall price of €19.90 a month. Mediaset will also stop carrying the DAZN sports streaming service as part of Premium on June 1, with customers directed to subscribe to this service direct from DAZN. The Infinity Premium offering will cost €7.99 a month via compatible devices and to internet connections of at least 1.2Mbps. Mediaset said that all Premium channels and the group’s on-demand offerings would only be available on the Infinity Premium service from the beginning of June.Įxisting subscribers will be able to cancel their service or switch to Infinity, with instructions to be sent to customers by the end of this month. The pay TV service will thereafter only be available via the new Infinity Premium streaming service, with the group’s Premium Online and Premium Play services also set to be closed down.
