The Cloud - What Does it Mean for Media Archives?
Perhaps due to the close proximity IT companies now have to the broadcast industry the usage of the term ‘Cloud’ is becoming more and more prolific. Is this just another buzz word or are there real benefits to embracing the Cloud? This paper looks at the conventional media archive and discusses the opportunities and emerging trends for archive technology and the cloud. Some of the discussion will be about the enabling technologies like LTFS, as well as the emergence of Archiving as a Service. Additionally this paper will address the considerations to build a private ‘cloud’ archive in terms of users and growth expansion.
