The mediaSERVER Hybrid edition - it’s like the mediaCLOUD and mediaSERVER had a baby

MediaSignage also offers the mediaSERVER Hybrid edition, a private hosted server managed by us. With the Hybrid edition we (MediaSignage) host, manage and support your mediaSERVER, while providing you UNLIMITED SignagePlayer licenses, all for a one low monthly fee.

In other words, with the mediaSERVER Hybrid edition you do not pay per license / player (it’s like the FREE mediaCLOUD) but still get to own your dedicated private server (like the mediaSERVER). You don’t have to worry about management or maintenance, we do it all for you.
You get a dedicated mediaSERVER that doesn’t share its resources (bandwidth / storage) with the rest of our worldwide user base.

The mediaSERVER Hybrid edition gives you the peace of mind you need, knowing that at anytime you can convert the Hybrid server to a truly privately hosted server. Often business investors require that you own all aspects of your organization including software and hardware; the mediaSERVER Hybrid edition allows you to satisfy that requirement while keeping your investment money in the bank .
