What Everybody Ought to Know About Netflix?

If you are a movie fan,then you must have heard of Netflix. Recently Netflix annouced:" we spend money on movies, not on servers." which caused a big attention.


When Netflix launched in the UK back in January it marked a sea change for movie and streaming technology. In the US, Netflix is synonymous with movie rentals but its name is still associated with physical media – DVD and Blu-ray releases – even if its business model is significantly veering towards streaming.

With the UK launch, Netflix has shown that when it does just focus on streaming, it can enter a market fairly quickly and instantly give rivals a run for their money.This is all because of the back-end technology Netflix is using – it's fully embraced the cloud and isn't ever going to look back.

When it comes to storing movies, Cockroft tells us that there is more than a petabyte (1,000TB) of content available, with all of this processed on AWS.This has meant that Netflix hasn't had to spend out huge amounts of money buying up data centres in the UK, this money has instead gone to buying up movie deals.

In all the Ireland set up equates to around 10 per cent of the machines used for the whole of Netflix's streaming service. Depending on how popular the service is at any one time, there could be 10,000 machines powered up, according to Cockroft.
