Costs

“If we built our own infrastructure for high-capacity storage and asset management, we would
have had big capital costs to install and maintain the servers and other equipment, as well as
high rent for a Manhattan location to house it. If you consider all those factors, it was
advantageous to choose a cloud-based service that not only hosts our media content but
makes it accessible to our production and sales staff around the world. Instead of shipping
physical media, like hard drives or thumb drives, or doing FTP and UDP file transfers, which
can be a cumbersome, time-consuming process, we upload our content and it’s immediately
available for screening or download by authorized parties around the world.”

Security risks in the Cloud

“Mass adoption of offsite cloud transcoding for media processing will take time. It’s likely that
over the next three to five years, a big portion of media processing will be done on-premises
(with fixed hardware and software). The reasons include conservatism, fear of content
piracy, and the economics of uploading content to the cloud. On the other hand, private
cloud is likely to be adopted more quickly for media processing because it provides flexibility.
A private cloud lets users perform video transcoding locally and purchase cloud-based
transcoding software on a per use basis ... so a combination of private cloud processing with
pay-per-use [cloud] services seems like the fastest solution for optimizing our customers’
operations.”

Definition

Definition of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released Special
Publication SP 800-145 in September 2011:

“Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, ondemand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications,
and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”

2001

First time
mentioned in
2001 by Microsoft
during the .Net
platform
launching
announcement.
The Cloud was
the place hosting
the Web
Services.

2006
Aug. 2006: Amazon
launches Elastic
Compute Cloud
(EC2) where every
developer can create
and resize his server
to fit the needs of his
projects.
Aug. 2006: Google
announces a new IT
architectural model
where data and
services are hosted
somewhere in the
“Cloud”.
13

The expression
“Cloud Computing”
democratized by
the launch of the
commercial version
of Amazon EC2 in
mid-2008.

2008-2009

Between mid-2008
and 2009, main
providers of IT
market like Google,
Microsoft, IBM, HP,
Dell, Sun, Cisco,
VMware, Xen, and
Ubuntu respectively
launched their “Cloud
Computing” offers.

Costs

“Media professionals need to do a cost/benefits
analysis of owning, leasing, or renting. If they can
get three to four years out of their capital
equipment, they’ll typically do better making
the CapEx investment in terms of total cost of
ownership. But if the market is changing, and they
need to upgrade every two years, they’ll
typically do better paying as they go [OpEx].”

‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
Top 10: Network Connection

“As a software editor, we would like ultimately to use the GPU solution in the cloud to deport
the 3D rendering of our applications to a server farm. The remote desktop technology has
become possible thanks to the bandwidth increase of large companies, in addition to the
increase of the computing power of the specialized clusters (e.g. HPC). The advantage of
such an architecture for our customers is to save graphics resources, by allowing
them access a large computing capacity thanks to (theoretically) a screen and a network
card.
In reality, this principle is not applied as such. Most services reduce the quality of the
image flows to be able to provide a more or less fluid video in an acceptable time duration
(in best cases we talk about a few hundreds of milliseconds). This trend is however going to
change as the fiber is being more and more deployed and the technology, currently at an
embryonic stage, is being optimized”

Security risks in the Cloud

“There are two chief concerns for high-end post houses: security risks and technology
limitations. When movie studios, cable networks and other major production companies
entrust them with their high-value assets, post houses don’t want to lose control of this
content, and they feel the public cloud is still too risky. They even take the precaution of
not putting Internet connectivity on their local storage networks. Since the RAW assets are
terabytes of HD, 2K, or 4K resolution data processed at up to 200 Mbps, you can’t work on a
cloud due to Internet bandwidth limitations. Yes, you can work with proxies, but we’re
years and years away from moving these demanding applications off-site, especially
to the public cloud.”

Upgrades in the Cloud

“If a customer wants to build a massively scalable encoding platform, with future-proof
support for the latest devices and players, ad insertion, closed captioning, and analytics,
among other features, it would be cost-prohibitive to build what we’re able to offer our
customers. The amount of effort it takes to maintain and upgrade a video transcoding
and streaming platform and to make sure it’s compatible with the latest devices is not
trivial. But the nice thing about a cloud provider is upgrades happen almost invisibly
to the user. When Zencoder [owned by Brightcove] makes a change, say it’s a 10-20%
improvement in video compression for HLS, users realize those gains for free, without having
to do anything to make it happen. They can just focus on creating great content.”
Casey Wilms, a solutions architect and product manager for Brightcove

Top 10: Expandability

• Cost / delay implication when expanding the
service:
– More bandwidth
– More capacity
– Extra services

‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
Top 10: Expandability
“The nature of our services requires a

network that can rapidly adjust to
accommodate irregular video traffic
patterns, which is why we teamed up
with the reliable provider of choice. With
Level 3's fast and nimble support, our
customers can be confident that – even
during peak traffic times – we will
have the scalable network capacity
available that is coupled with the
network reach to bring their content to a
global audience.”

“Our high-speed IP offering rides on our

global and continuously upgradeable IP
network, which is ideal for Hexaglobe as
demand for new media services and
delivery continue to grow. As abruptly or
quickly as their network needs change,
Hexaglobe can rely on Level 3 to help them
deliver a great experience to their customers.”

“The whole concept of cloud
compute is that you can turn up
high-volume computing capacity
on demand - with elastic capacity
to burst to the cloud - and be
billed only for that time.”
Greggory Heil, CEO and founder of Encoding.com

Hybrid Cloud

“When it comes to media processing in
the cloud, many people debate the
benefits of private cloud versus public
cloud. [The] truth is there’s no one-sizefits-all approach. Users may have different
requirements that would favor the public
cloud over the private cloud or vice versa
depending on the workloads to be
processed. The best approach is a
combination of private and public cloud.”

Security risks in the Cloud

“For our customers, security is the number
one concern because they don’t want to
lose control of their client’s valuable media
assets or the content they’re developing for
their own distribution. Avid customers shy away
from public cloud services because they don’t
feel the security concerns have been
adequately addressed.”

‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
Quality of Service in the Cloud

“One of the most interesting aspects about the 2012 Ericsson Mobility Report is that video has
become the biggest contributor to data traffic volumes (25-40 percent) and is growing faster than
ever. Mobile devices are now a crucial component in the TV experience, which has caused an
explosion in mobile data traffic and rapidly increased demands on the networks. The report also
shows that the subscription types associated with large data volumes (such as those for mobile
PCs and smartphones) are expected to exceed 4 billion by 2018, while mobile data traffic for
smartphones will grow up to 14 times between 2012 and 2018. With the global consumer shift
towards broadband mobility continuing to grow, I think we will see an even greater number of
operators demanding a more all-inclusive approach, one that encompasses the entire content
delivery and distribution system. As we move into an ever more mobile age, where multi-screen is
increasingly ubiquitous in every operator’s TV offering, the need for an efficient and flexible
unified CDN will become ever more pressing.”

Productivity improvements

“In the past, we relied on FTP transfers or used cloudonly file transfer services but found they were not easy
for all clients to work with and large file transfers were
very slow. Today, 90% of incoming files, and 100% of
outgoing files, are sent via a hybrid cloud-based
product from Signiant called Media Shuttle that
efficiently accelerates and manages file transfers and
sharing of hundreds of gigabytes of high-value
content.”

Quality of Service in the Cloud

“Fast access to archival video clips can give a news story

Quality of Service in the Cloud

“The greatest single point of failure is typically the Internet connection at the live event
site. As long as users can push the stream up to us, we’ll do whatever we need to do to
ensure their live events stream as planned. For mission-critical live events, we recommend
that customers have a redundant internet connection to ensure the stream is successful. The
cloud can provide immense flexibility for publishing to browsers, tablets, social media, and
mobile outlets. When customers want to stream live video, they send a single encoded
stream of that event to Haivision where it’s packaged into multiple bitrates and codecs
needed for multiple devices and published via a video content management system. It’s far
better video quality than they could get by trying to send multiple high bitrate streams from
their on-site Internet connection.”

‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
Quality of Service in the Cloud

“One of the biggest issues impeding

creative teams and agencies is the high
volume of digital assets and big data
starting to clog up the networks, which
is frustrating when they need to share
large, rich-media assets globally in a
timely and reliable manner. To address
this, we've integrated Aspera into
SocialBridge so teams can get campaigns
up and running faster than the competition
without the bottlenecks that come with
other systems available today.”

“The work that Central Desktop is doing to

proliferate cloud collaboration is cuttingedge, and we're very excited about this
integration to help move its clients' data
at maximum speed.”

Live Streaming service in the Cloud

“For live streaming, there are many advantages to leveraging a cloud transcoding
environment that is also live, not file-based. Users that have limited connectivity, budget
constraints and a need to reach all Internet connected devices should consider live
transcoding as an option. Using Haivision live transcoding, content creators can offer
viewers a high bitrate stream [of their camera or switcher output] via a single Internet
connection - then we package it into multiple ABR, Dynamic Flash, and Adaptive HLS
codecs. Customers are seeking to monetize the value of their streaming content, but typically
not through advertising. Live streaming of events can save on travel and other operating
costs, promote more efficient learning and communications, allow organizations to work more
efficiently, and offer live broadcast quality video where they otherwise couldn’t.”

Business challenges
Context
●
●
●

digital = free
b2c call center support culture
Security, availability, resilience pre-conceptions

Ecosystem changes
●
●
●

Less professionnal, fragmented
tv vs digital
collaboration vs responsability

What client pays for
●
●
●
●

No business model for collaborations apps and services
Delivery not just an extension of collaboration
Commoditized technical means is not commoditization of services
IMD historical pricing model = “per send”. Does not reflect actual content of services

Cloud Services Benefits Manpower costs © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 5 More streamlined and automated workflows ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 6. Costs “If we built our own infrastructure for high-capacity storage and asset management, we would have had big capital costs to install and maintain the servers and other equipment, as well as high rent for a Manhattan location to house it. If you consider all those factors, it was advantageous to choose a cloud-based service that not only hosts our media content but makes it accessible to our production and sales staff around the world. Instead of shipping physical media, like hard drives or thumb drives, or doing FTP and UDP file transfers, which can be a cumbersome, time-consuming process, we upload our content and it’s immediately available for screening or download by authorized parties around the world.” Unmesh Khadilkar, Head of IT and Broadcast Operations for Asia TV USA Ltd., the parent of Veria Living © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 6 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 7. Cloud and Secrecy “I’m using the Cloud but, please, don’t tell anyone” Many industry providers don’t want to talk publicly about their Cloud strategy  Just the beginning! © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 7 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 8. Security risks in the Cloud “Mass adoption of offsite cloud transcoding for media processing will take time. It’s likely that over the next three to five years, a big portion of media processing will be done on-premises (with fixed hardware and software). The reasons include conservatism, fear of content piracy, and the economics of uploading content to the cloud. On the other hand, private cloud is likely to be adopted more quickly for media processing because it provides flexibility. A private cloud lets users perform video transcoding locally and purchase cloud-based transcoding software on a per use basis ... so a combination of private cloud processing with pay-per-use [cloud] services seems like the fastest solution for optimizing our customers’ operations.” Yoav Derazon, Director of Product Management at Harmonic © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 8 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 9. TOP 10 criteria for choosing the right Media Cloud solution Services offered and scalability
  • 10. Contents • Intro: – Definition – History – Why use the Cloud? • Top 10 criteria © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 10 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 11. Definition Definition of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released Special Publication SP 800-145 in September 2011: “Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, ondemand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.” http://prismrm.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/sopot_memorandum_cloud_computing.pdf © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 11 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 12. Definition Cloud usually associated from the 60s by engineers to a wide network (typically the internet) when drawing a network architecture. © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved Knowing the structure or the internal operations does not matter. Only the input / output data steams. 12 The computational power needed to operate/run the applications is moved outside the company’s wall and spread across the network. ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 13. History 2001 First time mentioned in 2001 by Microsoft during the .Net platform launching announcement. The Cloud was the place hosting the Web Services. © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 2008 2006 Aug. 2006: Amazon launches Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) where every developer can create and resize his server to fit the needs of his projects. Aug. 2006: Google announces a new IT architectural model where data and services are hosted somewhere in the “Cloud”. 13 The expression “Cloud Computing” democratized by the launch of the commercial version of Amazon EC2 in mid-2008. 2008-2009 Between mid-2008 and 2009, main providers of IT market like Google, Microsoft, IBM, HP, Dell, Sun, Cisco, VMware, Xen, and Ubuntu respectively launched their “Cloud Computing” offers. ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 14. Costs “Media professionals need to do a cost/benefits analysis of owning, leasing, or renting. If they can get three to four years out of their capital equipment, they’ll typically do better making the CapEx investment in terms of total cost of ownership. But if the market is changing, and they need to upgrade every two years, they’ll typically do better paying as they go [OpEx].” Jess Hartmann, CEO of Promax Systems (CA, USA) © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 14 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013

  • 18. Top 10: Network Connection “As a software editor, we would like ultimately to use the GPU solution in the cloud to deport the 3D rendering of our applications to a server farm. The remote desktop technology has become possible thanks to the bandwidth increase of large companies, in addition to the increase of the computing power of the specialized clusters (e.g. HPC). The advantage of such an architecture for our customers is to save graphics resources, by allowing them access a large computing capacity thanks to (theoretically) a screen and a network card. In reality, this principle is not applied as such. Most services reduce the quality of the image flows to be able to provide a more or less fluid video in an acceptable time duration (in best cases we talk about a few hundreds of milliseconds). This trend is however going to change as the fiber is being more and more deployed and the technology, currently at an embryonic stage, is being optimized” Thierry Cottenceau, Founding Chairman of Virdys © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 18 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 19. Top 10: SLA • Service Level Agreement © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 19 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 20. Security risks in the Cloud “There are two chief concerns for high-end post houses: security risks and technology limitations. When movie studios, cable networks and other major production companies entrust them with their high-value assets, post houses don’t want to lose control of this content, and they feel the public cloud is still too risky. They even take the precaution of not putting Internet connectivity on their local storage networks. Since the RAW assets are terabytes of HD, 2K, or 4K resolution data processed at up to 200 Mbps, you can’t work on a cloud due to Internet bandwidth limitations. Yes, you can work with proxies, but we’re years and years away from moving these demanding applications off-site, especially to the public cloud.” Jess Hartmann, CEO of Promax Systems (CA, USA) © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 20 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 21. Top 10: SLA – Security and Privacy policies Security and Privacy policy issues How the service provider is using encryption?

  • 27. Upgrades in the Cloud “If a customer wants to build a massively scalable encoding platform, with future-proof support for the latest devices and players, ad insertion, closed captioning, and analytics, among other features, it would be cost-prohibitive to build what we’re able to offer our customers. The amount of effort it takes to maintain and upgrade a video transcoding and streaming platform and to make sure it’s compatible with the latest devices is not trivial. But the nice thing about a cloud provider is upgrades happen almost invisibly to the user. When Zencoder [owned by Brightcove] makes a change, say it’s a 10-20% improvement in video compression for HLS, users realize those gains for free, without having to do anything to make it happen. They can just focus on creating great content.” Casey Wilms, a solutions architect and product manager for Brightcove © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 27 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 28. Top 10: Expandability • Cost / delay implication when expanding the service: – More bandwidth – More capacity – Extra services © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 28 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 29. Top 10: Expandability “The nature of our services requires a network that can rapidly adjust to accommodate irregular video traffic patterns, which is why we teamed up with the reliable provider of choice. With Level 3's fast and nimble support, our customers can be confident that – even during peak traffic times – we will have the scalable network capacity available that is coupled with the network reach to bring their content to a global audience.” “Our high-speed IP offering rides on our global and continuously upgradeable IP network, which is ideal for Hexaglobe as demand for new media services and delivery continue to grow. As abruptly or quickly as their network needs change, Hexaglobe can rely on Level 3 to help them deliver a great experience to their customers.” James Heard, regional president of the EMEA region for Level 3 Communications Franck Coppola, President of Hexaglobe © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 29 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013

  • 37. Terminology Hybrid Cloud Users seamlessly interface their on-premises private cloud service with a public cloud service for moving and managing large data between the public and private clouds with the utmost flexibility © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved “The whole concept of cloud compute is that you can turn up high-volume computing capacity on demand - with elastic capacity to burst to the cloud - and be billed only for that time.” Greggory Heil, CEO and founder of Encoding.com 37 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 38. Terminology Hybrid Cloud “When it comes to media processing in the cloud, many people debate the benefits of private cloud versus public cloud. [The] truth is there’s no one-sizefits-all approach. Users may have different requirements that would favor the public cloud over the private cloud or vice versa depending on the workloads to be processed. The best approach is a combination of private and public cloud.” Users seamlessly interface their on-premises private cloud service with a public cloud service for moving and managing large data between the public and private clouds with the utmost flexibility Yoav Derazon, Director of Product Management at Harmonic © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 38 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 39. Security risks in the Cloud “For our customers, security is the number one concern because they don’t want to lose control of their client’s valuable media assets or the content they’re developing for their own distribution. Avid customers shy away from public cloud services because they don’t feel the security concerns have been adequately addressed.” Jim Frantzreb, Avid’s Director of Media Enterprise Segment Marketing © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 39 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 40. Quality of Service in the Cloud “One of the most interesting aspects about the 2012 Ericsson Mobility Report is that video has become the biggest contributor to data traffic volumes (25-40 percent) and is growing faster than ever. Mobile devices are now a crucial component in the TV experience, which has caused an explosion in mobile data traffic and rapidly increased demands on the networks. The report also shows that the subscription types associated with large data volumes (such as those for mobile PCs and smartphones) are expected to exceed 4 billion by 2018, while mobile data traffic for smartphones will grow up to 14 times between 2012 and 2018. With the global consumer shift towards broadband mobility continuing to grow, I think we will see an even greater number of operators demanding a more all-inclusive approach, one that encompasses the entire content delivery and distribution system. As we move into an ever more mobile age, where multi-screen is increasingly ubiquitous in every operator’s TV offering, the need for an efficient and flexible unified CDN will become ever more pressing.” Lisa Skelton, Head of Marketing, TV Content Delivery © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 40 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013

  • 69. Productivity improvements “In the past, we relied on FTP transfers or used cloudonly file transfer services but found they were not easy for all clients to work with and large file transfers were very slow. Today, 90% of incoming files, and 100% of outgoing files, are sent via a hybrid cloud-based product from Signiant called Media Shuttle that efficiently accelerates and manages file transfers and sharing of hundreds of gigabytes of high-value content.” Roy Machado, Creative Director, President, and Owner of Dallas Audio Post © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 69 Source – Streaming Media ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 70. Quality of Service in the Cloud “Fast access to archival video clips can give a news story historical context and added value. But there’s a capital cost to digitizing, storing, and managing years of legacy footage, especially to buy, house, and maintain a robust storage infrastructure.” Brian Campanotti, Chief Technical Officer of Front Porch Digital (in Louisville, Colo., US 2012) © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 70 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 71. Quality of Service in the Cloud “The greatest single point of failure is typically the Internet connection at the live event site. As long as users can push the stream up to us, we’ll do whatever we need to do to ensure their live events stream as planned. For mission-critical live events, we recommend that customers have a redundant internet connection to ensure the stream is successful. The cloud can provide immense flexibility for publishing to browsers, tablets, social media, and mobile outlets. When customers want to stream live video, they send a single encoded stream of that event to Haivision where it’s packaged into multiple bitrates and codecs needed for multiple devices and published via a video content management system. It’s far better video quality than they could get by trying to send multiple high bitrate streams from their on-site Internet connection.” Chance Mason, Executive Vice President of Haivision’s Internet Media Division, in Atlanta © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 71 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 72. Quality of Service in the Cloud “One of the biggest issues impeding creative teams and agencies is the high volume of digital assets and big data starting to clog up the networks, which is frustrating when they need to share large, rich-media assets globally in a timely and reliable manner. To address this, we've integrated Aspera into SocialBridge so teams can get campaigns up and running faster than the competition without the bottlenecks that come with other systems available today.” “The work that Central Desktop is doing to proliferate cloud collaboration is cuttingedge, and we're very excited about this integration to help move its clients' data at maximum speed.” John Wastcoat, VP of business development for Aspera Arnulf Hsu, CTO and co-founder of Central Desktop © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 72 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
  • 73. Live Streaming service in the Cloud “For live streaming, there are many advantages to leveraging a cloud transcoding environment that is also live, not file-based. Users that have limited connectivity, budget constraints and a need to reach all Internet connected devices should consider live transcoding as an option. Using Haivision live transcoding, content creators can offer viewers a high bitrate stream [of their camera or switcher output] via a single Internet connection - then we package it into multiple ABR, Dynamic Flash, and Adaptive HLS codecs. Customers are seeking to monetize the value of their streaming content, but typically not through advertising. Live streaming of events can save on travel and other operating costs, promote more efficient learning and communications, allow organizations to work more efficiently, and offer live broadcast quality video where they otherwise couldn’t.” Chance Mason, Executive Vice President of Haivision’s Internet Media Division, in Atlanta © mesclado 2013 – All rights reserved 73 ‘Media Engineering Intelligence’ seminar – 3rd October 2013
