Cloud Storage and Archiving: Public vs. Private vs. Hybrid and Where It’s All Headed

Sports-media organizations — both big and small — are increasingly moving to cloud-native, hybrid, and multi-cloud infrastructures for their archiving needs. While large-scale cloud platforms offer a wealth of AI/ML tools, on-premises cost savings, and SaaS-based pricing models, they can also produce a serious case of sticker shock when the egress bill arrives. In this session, major cloud platforms, ISV partners, and media orgs offer best practices for creating a cloud-storage environment that works for you.
