The maturing of virtualised cloud technology is bringing with it increased opportunities for premium video operators.
But a new white paper says that before they take advantage of it, operators must first ensure they consolidate all of the processes associated with managing traditional content security.
Benefitting from Cloud-based Security in Pay-TV Operations, explains how the definition of the cloud has evolved from simply referring to the use of general-purpose commodity hardware instead of purpose-built hardware to run specific applications to encompassing the benefits of virtualisation.
The use of the so-called ‘elastic cloud’ allows pay-TV operators, to tap the public cloud, avoiding the costs of an in-house data-centre. Rather than build extra capacity to cover spikes in demand hybrid architectures mean temporary capacity can be run from the public cloud.
Sponsors Nagra say when it comes to the challenges posed by device fragmentation and increasingly stringent security requirements, use of cloud technology to enable highly scalable, cost-efficient approaches to managing content protection is key to facilitating content distributors’ multiscreen service strategies.
