About IMAGICAIn addition to post-production services, at IMAGICA we o� er archiving services which include repairing and converting valuable historical video footage for coming generations, streamlining workfl ows for ever-changing production environments like high-res visual production, and online data archiving services to meet the various demands of production work. We’ve also started to o� er post-production services for major projects in Asia, the U.S., and Europe through the establishment of IMAGICA South East Asia, and we’re working aggressively to distribute Japanese content globally as well.

IMAGICA’s mission is to “bring video communication to life”, and to this end, we’ve adopted Colt’s low-latency, high-bandwidth network to quickly and efficiently process the large volumes of video data we work with. I look forward to Colt continuing to provide us with reliable network services for our mission-critical IT infrastructure.

IMAGICA’s business challengeWith our previous VPN, it took much time to upload large volumes of video data since the connection was of poor quality. We decided it would be much more e� cient to combine AWS computing resources with a low-latency, high-bandwidth network service. Low latency was especially important to us due to the frequency we needed remotely duplicate high-volume video data – the lower the RTD (round trip delay) latency, the more e� cient we can work.

Why ColtIMAGICA processes terabytes upon terabytes of video data each week, so we need a network provider that o� ers low-latency and high-bandwidth. Another factor we need to consider is the ability to handle requests from our end-users, especially those that require temporary bandwidth upscaling with short lead times for video production. Price, of course, was another important factor. Colt impressed us with their track record in serving the fi nancial industry and performed with the least amount of latency in our tests. On top of that, their service o� ers great price-to-performance.

Future plansColt has helped us tackle our bandwidth requirements and enabled us to process large volumes of data e� ciently. We’re very satisfi ed with the smoothness of operation with Colt Network Services. As we are expanding our business globally, we hope to partner with Colt in regions outside of Japan as well.
