The Changing Demands of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is key to improving time and cost efficiency, but a number of challenges still exist for organisations seeking to implement cloud solutions.
Firstly, traditional cloud solutions are expensive and are difficult to deploy quickly. Secondly, applications and content must be optimised to meet the demands of the cloud. And finally, for organisations with intermittent peak loads, a cloud solution often involves significant investment in other dedicated infrastructure which can be both time and cost heavy.
In this video Adrian Britton – General Manager of Technology, Strategy and Innovation at Hostworks – discusses the changing demands of cloud computing, the convergence of broadcast television and online, and how infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is only part of the story.
He also takes us behind the scenes of one of the biggest events of the online sporting calendar – the 2010 Soccer World Cup – and explains how Hostworks teamed with SBS to deliver the event to millions of online viewers.
