Introducing Jet-Stream Dedicated Media Cloud

Professional Streaming Infrastructure Built for Digital Sovereignty and Media Scalability

Why Dedicated Media Cloud?

Over the past decade, reliance on non-European cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud has become a strategic risk for many organizations. Beyond unpredictable costs, the legal uncertainty, lack of transparency, and dependency on foreign entities make it increasingly difficult for European organizations to comply with GDPR requirements and sovereignty principles.

For organizations that require professional streaming – such as governments, media companies, OTT platforms, and broadcasters – there is now a European, dedicated, and scalable solution: Jet-Stream Dedicated Cloud.

At Jet-Stream, we believe organizations must have control over their mission critical, core processes. For live streaming and on-demand media services, this means European hosting, European staff, transparency, flexibility, and portability between vendors. Our dedicated cloud solutions deliver exactly that: a fully managed, digitally sovereign infrastructure that enables customization without the costs and complexity of a system integrator or self-management. With fixed monthly costs, green hosting, and proven technology, this is the alternative for organizations looking to move away from clouds – without starting from scratch.

Who Is Jet-Stream Dedicated Cloud For?

Jet-Stream Dedicated Cloud is designed for organizations that:

• Want to move away from non-EU clouds for reasons of digital sovereignty, compliance, and control over their data and processes.
• Need dedicated resources for high-performance streaming, without the interference of “noisy neighbors” in shared environments.
• Want to save costs with fixed, predictable monthly rates-up to 50% cheaper than pay-as-you-go cloud services.
• Require customization, but within a proven, standardized system-no multi-year development cycles or expensive system integrators.
• Don’t want to build, host, or manage their own infrastructure, but still want the benefits of a dedicated, isolated stack.
• Seek flexibility and portability, with the ability to switch vendors without vendor lock-in.

This includes:

• Governments that must comply with strict GDPR and sovereignty requirements.
• Media companies and broadcasters that need reliable, scalable live and VOD streaming.
• OTT platforms that require high uptime, low latency, and global reach.
• Businesses that want to host sustainably, without compromising on performance.
