The AGM will be followed by a lecture on Technology in the Cloud
Technology in the Cloud
Aspera will describe how media companies large and small can now take full advantage of integrated media workflows at scale on AWS, to deliver on the promise of the cloud to transform their businesses.
Cloud computing promises instance access to virtually unlimited compute, network, and storage resources - this enables media companies to dynamically scale their infrastructure in perfect unison with user demand, without the need for upfront investment
Aspera’s presentation will debunk some of the myths associated with the cloud; explore what it can offer, what can be built, and some of the challenges associated with getting large media data to and from the cloud.
