- How Containerized Software Justifies Virtual Broadcast Infrastructure

Shipping containers revolutionized the shipping industry, providing standardized yet isolated boxes that work in every port and are moved by several transportation modes.

Now “software containers” provide similar standardization for software processes across a variety of business sectors.

Broadcasters are discovering how containerized software virtualizes critical broadcast functions, including decentralized content creation, audio processing and program distribution.

Moreover, broadcasters get this technology that’s already proven efficient and reliable in the financial, retail, and process control business sectors.

This presentation reveals additional rationale for deploying our broadcast infrastructure using efficient software containers.

We’ll see how containerized software technology can provide not only convenient day-to-day broadcast infrastructure, but how it’s also perfect for disaster recovery scenarios, important to the promise of our industry.
