Organizations around the world rely on Kaltura’s video products and solutions to work smarter, collaborate, learn better, and engage their audiences with the broadest set of video experiences. Driven by a cloud-first approach and a focus on delivering an exceptional SaaS-based customer experience, Kaltura selected OCI for its superior price-performance, high availability, built-in security, and increased automation. Kaltura will develop its complete enterprise video experience on OCI to deliver market leading enterprise video, Cloud TV, education video, virtual events, and media services, including extensible video APIs for developers.  With Oracle networking infrastructure, which is fast, predictable, and inexpensive, Kaltura will be able to achieve substantial savings on network egress costs and deliver a low total cost of ownership across all regions.

“Video experiences have surged dramatically over the past year, and they have provided organizations with an important platform to engage with customers and employees across the world. We’re excited to broaden our partnership with Oracle and provide even more advanced video capabilities to customers both through delivering our video solutions on OCI, and by infusing our video capabilities into Oracle products that customers know and love,” said Ron Yekutiel, co-founder, chairman and CEO, Kaltura. “With 30 Cloud regions, OCI is well suited to help us support our global operation. Through the expansion of our partnership with Oracle, we expect to jointly launch new innovative video products to enterprise, education and media customers. Additionally, the cost and performance benefits of OCI will help support our growing scale and velocity needs, as Oracle will help us mobilize a multi-year technical effort to accelerate our adoption of OCI.”

Oracle has been a Kaltura customer since 2012. In 2019, Oracle and Kaltura announced an OEM partnership, which originally utilized Kaltura’s video-on-demand services and is now being extended to leverage all Kaltura media services. With the expansion of the strategic partnership, Cloud customers will be able to manage their on-demand, live, and real-time video content in Oracle’s universal content hub, and enrich that content with Kaltura’s tools. Customers can easily deliver video across any channel from email and social media to their own website and blogs and obtain detailed engagement analytics related to viewership, drop-offs, interactions, and more.
