Playout Automation in a Virtual Environment

As the consumer demand for video increases and the delivery models expand to provide more ways to consume it, today's digital media companies struggle to keep up. Computer and Storage Clouds promise to augment and eventually replace the media factory of today using persistence and elasticity. But for those implementations to be truly beneficial, the applications and solutions provided must be designed and built for a virtual environment. Virtualization is more than installing a Virtual Machine (VM) and loading software. The applications themselves must be designed for virtualization, reducing inherent complexity and be able to efficiently perform as the requirements change.
