Every day more and more video is being produced—newsreels documenting historic events, epic series we binge watch, marvelous movies, documentaries and mocumentaries, DIY and product demos/promotion. There is an endless amount of video content that can be viewed with just a quick click.

The explosion in OTT platforms has created new opportunities for traditional media companies to reach larger audiences worldwide.

A look back at Brews & Bytes (B&B) webcasts on broader topics around storage, technology and the world in which we live

This week, we continue taking a look back at our year of Brews & Bytes (B&B) webcasts with a dive into the broader topics that address storage and technology. While most of these involved bringing in experts from partner companies, we also had a couple of episodes that featured our team in casual discussions.

We’ve all heard the phrase “content is king” which originated in an essay Bill Gates wrote; but, that has never been more true than in 2020. And, without a doubt, content needs storage—lots and lots of storage.

So, it is no surprise that we are seeing the hunt for educational resources about object-based storage and data management soar.

Here are the top educational resources that have been consumed by storage professionals on the Caringo website.

Despite a global pandemic and social turmoil, there were some positive shifts in our world that were facilitated by technology. The ability to order just about anything online and to virtually meet with medical professionals, family, friends, and teachers as well as colleagues and peers, and an inexhaustible amount of content with which to entertain ourselves stood out as capabilities not possible even a decade ago. So with that in mind, let’s take a closer look at what we like to call the 3 Cs (content, cloud and collaboration) and our predictions for 2021.

Robert Nagy (Lead Developer & Co-Founder, nxtedition) gives his predictions for the Broadcast & Media Industry in 2021.

We caught up with Mike Kelly, President and CEO at Wohler to hear more about the company and what they do. We discussed with Mike about how Covid-19 has affected the company and what impact the lack of trade shows in 2020 had on them. We hear what alternative methods of engagement they have used to connect with their clients along with the move to IP and IT and what we can expect to see from Wohler in the coming months.

Greg Loose, Head of Media and Entertainment at Veritone, discusses a variety of media and entertainment trends, including:

• COVID-19’s impact on M&E and how things will change in 2021: Greg believes that being able to produce content, especially editing and post-production work, using remote and cloud utilities is going to be a necessity.
• Leveraging existing content to satisfy consumer demand: With more and more people at home wanting to consume more and more content, content creators have been tasked with making unique, compelling content to satisfy that need while also overcoming production difficulties to remote work.

In this IABM TV interview, we hear from Richard Payne (Head of Technology, Holdan) about the latest developments at Holdan including a BirdDog development overview.
