Cloud Computing for the Media Facility: Concepts and Applications
Cloud computing has the potential to change the landscape of the media facility. This paper includes a review of fundamentals, business benefits and a comparison of three cloud types plus elasticity examples. Public and private clouds are considered and “pay by the sip” cost models are examined. Server virtualization is shown to be a key enabling technology for efficient and on-demand use of cloud computing resources. Compute benchmarks are provided and security considerations are reviewed. Examples of cloud-based media-related applications are given.
