Cirion and Cinema Máquina join forces to improve connectivity and interconnection of technological processes

MEXICO CITY, October 10, 2023 – Cirion Technologies, a leading provider of technology and digital infrastructure, has collaborated with Cinema Máquina, a leading post-production studio for films and television series with more than 12 years of experience, to improve the connectivity and interconnection of its content production processes, as well as to optimize processes in general, automate responses, and ensure a secure and seamless connection to the cloud.

Today, digitalization is key to cope with the dynamics of a company’s daily operations, meet customers needs and be responsive. Cinema Máquinas need of dedicated connectivity and to produce and share large amounts of content was a challenge. Cirion Technologies helped improve the company’s connectivity by making employees connections more efficient and preventing impacts from the lack of connection.

With Cirion’s technology, Cinema Máquina now counts on a 5Gb/second bandwidth link, supported by the company’s fiber optic infrastructure, enabling employees to connect remotely and accelerating the distribution of internal and external contents.

Cirion Technologies contributed to the companys interconnection by maximizing its potential through scalable network solutions that enable smart automation, real-time data performance and dynamic bandwidth scalability. Additionally, Cirion maintains data and applications secure in the main public and private clouds, avoiding risks.

Among the benefits obtained by Cinema Máquina are:

Greater agility to send content, maximizing the capacity and speed of data uploads.
Continuity of the company’s activities remotely, without compromising operations.
Improved hybrid and remote flows. Employees can connect without failures and use services in public and private clouds.
Optimization of the latest and most advanced technologies to improve performance and eliminate problems.

Over the last few decades, corporate network connectivity has evolved in tandem with companies dynamic needs and, as observed with the sudden shift to remote work in 2020, the evolution cycle is accelerating in response to the changing environment. This makes interconnection more important than ever for a modern company.

At Cirion, we want our solutions to help streamline the processes for companies that usually manage large amounts of data, such as Cinema Máquina, and improve their connectivity with cutting-edge technology while guaranteeing security, said Jaime Durán, Director of Connectivity & Content Products for the Northern Cluster at Cirion Technologies.
