Hyperconverged Design: Reducing the Environmental Impact of Production Technologies Throughout the Product Lifecycle
The production industry is experiencing mounting pressure to deliver more content on more platforms, leading producers to deliver on-demand and over-the-top (OTT) media using software- and cloud-based solutions. The growth in both volume of content and the use of Internet Protocol (IP)-based delivery methods comes at an environmental cost, in terms of energy consumption and physical waste. The hyperconverged design approach combines production capabilities into a single product and offers engineers and designers immediate ways to reduce a production’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 protect and conserve the environment.
