Tech Paper 2022: This paper shows ITV’s cloud-based TV production enables remote, scalable workflows, cutting costs and CO₂ emissions while improving software access and disaster recovery.
Abstract
For ITV, there were four key goals that drove us to investigate and try to harness the opportunities of the Cloud. The first goal was to explore the potential of a secure, virtual space for production teams to create, collaborate and have the ability to scale their resources & toolbox up (or indeed down) at speed. The second goal, was finding new ways to reduce hardware and office space costs, (as well as exposing the total cost of editorial, storage and the often-invisible wrap-around of Engineering support). The third was to continue to keep up with the latest versions of software and answer previously unanswerable Disaster Recovery requests without the need for CAPEX justification and investment. Lastly, the fourth, but by no means any less important goal, was that we wanted to turbo-charged the drive towards a more sustainable, environmentally-friendly production environment for our Creative Teams.
