AWS and NVIDIA simplify live broadcast production to create a newsroom in the cloud
AWS empowers customers to run broadcast workloads with the most agility, elasticity, scalability, and reliability of any cloud. Solutions from AWS give broadcasters the tools and support they need to deliver the highest quality video, maximize their revenue through cost optimization, and achieve operational excellence, all while ensuring a more sustainable future.
Purpose-built media services and solutions from AWS present infrastructure cost savings and help reduce carbon emissions by allowing broadcasters to decommission data centers and physical playout hubs.
For more than 15 years, AWS technologies have provided flexibility to plan and build for maximum capacity but also spin resources up and down as needed, replacing on-premises hardware with cloud-based services that expand the capability to deliver live events or launch new channels.
Broadcast customers can leverage the full range of AWS capabilities and AWS Partner solutions, including storage, metadata, and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), to build audience insights and create enhanced experiences.
