Eyevinn Open Source Cloud (OSC) reduces the barrier to get start with open source by reducing the barrier for an open source creator to offer their software as a service. Generated revenue is shared with the open source creator.
With Eyevinn Open Source Cloud you can reduce transcoding costs, run ad-supported television channels, build a streaming testbed for QA, run your own Minecraft server to give a few examples of what you can do with the open source components available in the platform today. All services are based on open source which means that you can at any time move the component over to your own infrastructure. You are not locked in to Eyevinn Open Source Cloud.
Our goal is to not be evil and to provide the creators with an additional income stream for their projects. Read Our Pledge to the community.
