The Video Cloud :
Enabling secure management and distribution of
live, linear and on demand video

4
• The storing of data and applications on remote servers, and
accessing them via the internet rather than saving or
installing them on your personal or office computer
• Its not only store the data. Its:
– Inexpensive
– Efficient
– Flexible
• Allows work anywhere and anytime
Cloud Computing

5
• Cloud computing has two parts
Cloud Computing...
Client side and collection of servers and computers owned by 3rd party who stores the data

6
• Deployment models of Cloud Computing
– Private cloud (only one organization on a private network)
– Public cloud (owned by Cloud Service Provider)
– Hybrid cloud (Combination of Private and Public)
Cloud Computing…

• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
• PaaS (Platform as a Service)
• SaaS (Software as a Service)
Service models of Cloud Computing

8
• SaaS (Software as a Service)
– SaaS is a distribution model that delivers software applications over
the Internet; these are often called Web services
– Microsoft Office 365 is a SaaS offering for productivity software and
email services
– Users can access SaaS applications and services from any location
using a computer or mobile device that has Internet access.

9
• PaaS (Platform as a Service)
– Provides host development tools on their infrastructures
– Users access those tools over the Internet using APIs, Web portals or
gateway software
– Used for general software development and many PaaS providers will
host the software after it's developed.
– Common PaaS providers include Salesforce.com's Force.com,
Amazon Elastic Beanstalk and Google App Engine.

10
• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
– IaaS providers such as AWS supply a virtual server instance and storage,
as well as application program interfaces (APIs) that let users
migrate workloads to a virtual machine (VM)
– Users have an allocated storage capacity and start, stop, access and
configure the VM and storage as desired
– IaaS providers offer small, medium, large, extra-large, and memory- or
compute-optimized instances, in addition to customized instances, for
various workload needs.

11
• Video Cloud migrates traditional broadcast transmission, cloud
based media management, security and online streaming
capabilities into a scalable, cloud-based alternative to traditional
premise-based video delivery architectures.
• Includes the ability to store and manage post-production content
and securely deliver live, file-based and linear video to Direct-
To-Home (DTH) networks or directly to consumers via tablets,
consoles, connected TVs and other viewing devices.
• Video Cloud Services combine content delivery, video broadcast
and cloud storage capabilities to create a more scalable, secure
and streamlined approach to global content distribution.
