Sorenson Media (http://www.sorensonmedia.com) has announced the immediate availability of Sorenson Squeeze Server, a customizable and scalable video encoding solution that enables enterprises, post-production facilities, developers and video professionals to encode high-quality video in a secure, cloud-based environment.

Built on Amazon Web Services infrastructure it can be integrated into any third-party infrastructure provider. Squeeze Server relies on dedicated instances to provide efficient processing of video. It also comes with a 99.9% uptime guarantee as part of Sorenson’s Service Level Agreement (SLA) in addition to full customer support, says Sorenson CEO Peter Csathy,

Sorenson Squeeze Server users have access to all of the fundamental functionality of the g video encoding application Sorenson Squeeze, including advanced pre-processing filters and a broad selection of formats, including Flash, H.264 and WebM. Squeeze Server provides complete control to the user by using Sorenson Media’s developer APIs (application programming interfaces), which enable users to create automated workflows to maximize throughput while maintaining control of the video quality. Through the APIs, users can also automatically publish their encoded videos to a host of destinations, such as a content delivery network (CDN), a network folder, a web site or any number of locations simultaneously.

Pricing for Squeeze Server begins at US$499 per month for each dedicated server instance with the ability to scale as needed. Each subscription to Squeeze Server also includes a complimentary account for the Sorenson 360 online video platform.
