Screenz has recently launched an extremely scalable IP voting platform to support the real-time mobile application for the TV show, ‘Rising Star’. Test runs of the application succeeded in handling a new record of 2.8 million concurrent votes for a period of 3 minutes; the highest number reached so far on Google Cloud Platform.
The system utilizes Google Cloud Platform as a host based on its unique network and compute abilities to manage millions of requests per second, enabling maximum flexibility and outstanding performance. In addition, Google Compute Engine is deployed globally, spanning multiple continents, maximizing availability and drastically reducing latency. By utilizing Google BigQuery, Screenz is able to host its big data platform, providing broadcasters with the ability to analyze large amounts of data collected from the real time voting system.
