AWS re:Invent 2016: Powering the Next Generation of Virtual Reality with Veri...Amazon Web Services
Verizon Labs developed an augmented and virtual reality platform called Envrmnt using AWS GPU instances to overcome challenges with real-time video rendering. They achieved a 10x speed improvement for stitching and encoding 360 degree video by leveraging GPU parallelization. The new architecture processes video in real-time using GPUs for decoding, stitching and 2D/3D rendering, while encoding is performed efficiently on CPUs. This allows AR and VR content to be streamed seamlessly to any device.
Review this AWS and Nimbo webinar where we discuss moving your data center to the AWS Cloud. We feature a real world example to illustrate how this can be achieved both quickly and smoothly.
Hess Corporation recently moved part of its infrastructure to the cloud, to prepare for a business divestiture. Relying on consultation from enterprise cloud solution provider Nimbo, the migration was completed securely, in about half the time it would have taken in an on-premises environment.

This document discusses Infobip's journey towards enabling real-time querying of aggregated data. Initially, Infobip had a monolithic architecture with a single database that became a bottleneck. They introduced multiple databases and microservices but querying spanned databases and results had to be joined. A data warehouse (GREEN) provided reporting but was not real-time. To enable real-time queries, Infobip implemented a lambda architecture using Kafka as the real-time data pipeline and Druid for real-time querying and aggregations, achieving sub-second responses and less than 2 seconds of data delay. This allows real-time insights from ingested messaging data while GREEN remains the batch/serving layer.
Ground-Cloud-Cloud-Ground - NAB 2022 IP ShowcaseKieran Kunhya
The document discusses ground-cloud integration and the work of the VSF GCCG working group. It addresses challenges with integrating broadcast television production workflows between on-premise "ground" systems and cloud-based systems. Key points include:
- Existing cloud production uses single-vendor systems or proprietary transports, but the goal is multi-vendor cloud production with agreed mechanisms for transport.
- Challenges include getting linear-timed signals from the cloud to existing ground systems like SDI or ST 2110 and maintaining comparable latency.
- The GCCG working group is working to define solutions like transport protocols that can guarantee throughput, reliability and latency between cloud instances from different vendors.

4. What the business wants?
3 main interests:
Earn more money
Cut the expenses
Manage risks
5. What is Disaster Recovery?
Usual response – it is system recovery
But which systems exactly?
Recovered to where?
What about people doing the recovery?
Better definition: Disaster Recovery is a
coordinated process of restoring systems, data
and infrastructure, required to support key
ongoing business operations.
6. Typical approaches to Disaster Recovery
«We will just restore from backups»
Where will the restore happen?
Are your backups good?
Are your backups offsite?
How long it will take to get those backups to DR
location?
Will the equipement be compatible?
What about remote access, network bandwidth,
data security?
What about business operations?
7. Disaster Recovery planning
Create a DR team
Identify Business Requirements
Categorize your systems by criticality to business
Define RTO (Recovery Time Objective) – when do the
most crytical business operations have to be operational
again
Define RPO (Recovery Point Objective) – how many data
can be lost from the point of failure
Identify risks
Fire?
Natural disasters (eg. earthquake, flood)?
Loss of infrastructure (network, power, facilities)?
Hackers?
8. Disaster Recovery for a TV channel
