Cisco At NAB 2024: Cloud-Native Media Production
Cisco News, Wednesday, April 10th, 2024
Several years back, I had an insightful conversation with Josh Stinehour, Principal Analyst at Devoncroft Partners, about the state of innovation within the media sector.
We discussed the notion that the era of traditional virtualization might be nearing its end, and that the industry stood on the cusp of a transformative leap forward.
It was during this conversation that I introduced the concept of 'containerization' as this forthcoming innovation, specifically tailored for real-time media applications. While the principles of containers and microservices have been established for some time, the unique challenges and requirements of media protocols meant that they had yet to fully harness these technologies. This was primarily due to existing technological limitations.
