This session will explore the workings and benefits of a software based, on-premise/cloud hybrid media processing platform. A hybrid or private cloud solution allows core processing volume to run on a customer premise within a virtualized private cloud infrastructure like OpenStack, Joyent, VMWare etc. In this model the true benefit of cloud media processing, elastic capacity, is maintained. Because the on-premise capacity limits of private cloud are reached by job volume, the hybrid cloud bursts seamlessly to the public cloud environments with no disruption in workflow. This presentation will discuss the hybrid cloud in detail and cover its benefits to customers' workflow.
