Reduced live production latency and costs while improving uptime and remote monitoring
Haivision SRT Gateway offers scalable throughput which can range from 100 to 1 Gbps plus on server. Cloud pay-as-you-go auto-scaling models are available, and it is also available through Azure Marketplace deployments. The pay-as-you-go model is available, and there is also an option for buying your own licensing format. The metering and billing experience is excellent. Through the pay-as-you-go model, we can decide how much is needed at what time and determine the number of users and the plan we are looking for. Pricing, setup cost, and licensing are great features with Haivision SRT Gateway. Since we obtained it from AWS Marketplace, the pricing is 60 to 70 percent cheaper compared to other solutions. Licensing through the pay-as-you-go model is easy, and there is also an option for buying your own license according to requirements.

Secure cloud migrations have accelerated as our teams access critical workloads remotely
OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey can be improved by looking forward to recommendations regarding compute sizing, which is necessary. I have seen multiple third-party solutions demanding configurations based on compute and memory aspects. However, what I have learned from OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey is that it comes with minimal configuration, but I am always stringent about how many client VPN connections it can handle. There has to be some bifurcation regarding this. I have not experienced any access lag so far or any performance issues. I do not see any problems with the configurations or recommendations provided by OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey for 100 or 200 users simultaneously, but I still foresee a need for some recommendations from OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey regarding the number of user connections it can handle given certain configurations.
