Zero Glitches, Total Triumph: How NCS Kept a Media Powerhouse Running 24/7

Introduction

Imagine millions tuning in—breaking news explodes, election results roll live, or the Oscars light up screens worldwide. Now imagine your systems crashing at that exact moment. Terrifying, right? For one leading media and entertainment company, that wasn’t an option. They needed uptime—24/7, no excuses—and real-time data that never faltered. We stepped in to make it happen. Here’s the story.

The Challenge: High Stakes in Real-Time Media

This wasn’t your typical 9-to-5 business. Our client operates 24/7, delivering high-profile, live events where even seconds of failure could cost millions.

Our Solution

Infrastructure Built for
Performance and Resilience

Icon

Resilient Infrastructure

We set up over 30 servers, all wired for redundancy. If one stumbled, another jumped in—automatic failover kept the data flowing. Traffic spiking 5x during a big event? No struggles and silos; the system is scaled on the fly.

Proactive Monitoring

We weren’t about to wait for trouble to knock. Tools like Zabbix watched performance nonstop, cron jobs handled routine upkeep, and Slack alerts pinged us the second something looked off. Once, a server hit 90% capacity during a news rush—we caught it and fixed it before anyone blinked.

On-Site Engineering

Tech’s great, but people seal the deal. Our on-site crew was ready to roll. When a software update threw a curveball during a live sports feed, we had it sorted in under 10 minutes. No one missed a play.

Bulletproof Security

Hackers love a juicy target. We made sure they hit a wall—regular patches, constant scans, and tough security protocols kept threats out. Zero breaches, period.

The Real Cost of Downtime

Even a few minutes offline could cost the client:

Lost revenue from ads and sponsors

Viewer drop-off and eroded trust
