Microsoft Azure Remote Solutions
The global health pandemic has impacted every organization on the planet—no matter the size—their employees, and the customers they serve. The Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry is no exception. Most physical productions have been shut down for the foreseeable future.
Leveraging On-Premises Hardware
First, leveraging existing on-premises hardware can be a quick solution to get your creative teams up and running. This works when you have devices inside the perimeter firewall, tied to specific hardware and network configurations that can be hard to replicate in the cloud. Solutions such as Teradici Cloud Access Software running on your artists’ machines enables full utilization of desktop computing power, while your networking teams provide a secure tunnel to that machine.
Azure Partner Solutions
Second, several Azure partners have accelerated work already in progress to provide customers with new remote options, starting with editorial.
- Avid: Avid has made their new Avid Edit on Demand solution immediately available through their Early Access Program. This is a great solution for broadcasters and studios who want to spin up editorial workgroups of up to 30 users.
- Adobe: Adobe customers who purchase Creative Cloud for individuals or teams can use Adobe Premiere Pro for editing in a variety of remote work scenarios.
- BeBop: Powered by Microsoft Azure, enables visual effects artists, editors, animators, and post-production professionals to create and collaborate from any corner of the globe.
- StratusCore: Provides a comprehensive platform for the remote content creation workforce including industry leading software tools through StratusCore’s marketplace.
