Hyperconverged Design: Reducing the Environmental Impact of Production Technologies Throughout the Product Lifecycle

Alun Fryer, Amanda Holtstrom

The production industry is experiencing mounting pressure to deliver more content on more platforms which is leading content producers to software and cloud-based solutions, serving on- demand, OTT delivery. However, this growth in content and IP-based delivery methods come at an environmental cost both in terms of energy consumption and the complexity of equipment. The hyperconverged design approach combines production capabilities into a single product and offers engineers and designers immediate ways to reduce a product's environmental impact while simultaneously simplifying its deployment, management, and operation. Throughout the product lifecycle, from design to disposition, hyperconverged products can support the media and entertainment industry in achieving sustainability targets, which protects and conserves the environment.
