Workflow-optimized cloud storage for efficient data management and secure collaboration

The growth of media is rapidly changing, and the need to create and deliver higher definition content is increasing—all while adhering to cost-effective budgets. Audience interests and habits are also constantly adjusting to new trends, thereby forcing M&E companies to seek new avenues for creating engaging content.

As digital content increases, challenges for M&E companies become even more prominent. Businesses are concerned that their solutions are out of reach in their budget, with unnecessary costs and egress charges. Some on-premises infrastructure is outdated, as well as expensive to replace or scale. Large data sets must be ingested into existing workflows quickly, but increased speeds inevitably raise costs.

Security concerns with piracy, data loss, damaged files, and data leaks have challenged companies to find the most secure solutions for keeping data safe at all times. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced M&E companies to seek new approaches to collaborating efficiently on content while working from home.

Technology is continuously evolving and enabling businesses to consider new options such as cloud and mobile—both of which are necessities for capitalizing on new market opportunities. Today’s M&E businesses have started to realize the potential of cloud and are rapidly adopting cloud-based technologies that deliver the industry’s best performance through scalable, cost-effective, and agile solutions.
