The strategic partnership will see the firms bring together Microsoft’s Azure Media Services and Ooyala’s Software as a Service (SaaS)-based video distribution, analytics and monetisation technology.
The deal establishes Ooyala as Microsoft’s preferred online video provider and Microsoft as Ooyala’s favoured public cloud provider.
