In an excellent article in the SMPTE Journal, A l Kovalick1 made the statement that “The media enterprise is in the biggest transition of its life. Equipment, processes, and applications are moving towards Information Technology (IT) methods and infrastructure. The cloud is not just a buzz word; it is the future of the media facility. The IT/cloud momentum is unstoppable and every systems designer and technician will need to become well versed in IT and cloud technologies.” The article goes on to give a snapshot of the state of this migration one year ago and enumerates many of the important technologies that are enabling this transition of our industry. Reading this article, just one year after it was written, reinforces the speed at which this transition is happening.
