Our Vision

We recognise that the desire to host video solutions in the cloud varies from one user to another. By architecting all of our applications using the latest cloud technologies, coralbay.tv is able to provide solutions that can be hosted in the cloud, on the ground or a blend of both, according to the user’s specific requirements. This has a fundamental advantage that the user experience is consistent independent of hosting and a move to cloud does not necessitate a whole new product (aka the ‘web client’) or worse still, a legacy product forklifted up, which results in compromised functionality, additional costs and an inability to utilise some of the core advantages of the cloud.

With considerable prior experience in automation, we are now creating a new generation of products specifically designed to work in cloud environments with an emphasis on security, elasticity, redundancy and deployment.
