To Cloud or Not to Cloud?

from Broadcast Tech Talks

As cloud adoption grows across film and TV, this panel explores whether it’s the right choice for every production. With insights from industry experts, we weigh the benefits and trade-offs of cloud-based workflows versus local or hybrid alternatives, from cost, connectivity, and scalability to security, storage and long-term archiving. Is the cloud always the smartest move, or are there better options for your budget, workflow, or infrastructure? Whether you’re already in the cloud or considering your next step, this session will help demystify the decision. This episode of the Broadcast Tech Talks podcast was recorded live at the Broadcast Tech Cloud Innovations Forum, held in October last year at Everyman King's Cross.Speakers:Jess Nottage, Operations & Technical Director - Clear Cut PicturesObinna Emmanuel Obi-Akwari, UI/UX Developer - AI & Media Innovation - Deep Fusion FilmsPaul Markham, Host of Cloud Native MediaJames Holmes, Technical Manager - ITNChair: Melissa Carr, Principal Consultant - Consulting Cube Hosted on Acast.
