Building Real World Media in the Cloud

“Building Real-World Media in the Cloud” examines the unique nature of managing media-centric “big data,” and how advanced, on-premises content storage management (CSM) systems make it possible but not necessarily affordable. The paper explores the idea of using a private cloud to back up, archive, protect, and manage valuable media assets in a more affordable, more effective way than an on-premises CSM system can do. Readers will learn about the concept of CSM as a Service (CSMaaS) and how it can help media organizations overcome the technical and financial barriers to employing advanced CSM in their operations. Finally, the paper describes key considerations when transitioning CSM into the cloud, and how making this transition can help media organizations with ever-tightening budgets add the necessary flexibility and agility to remain competitive and relevant.
