THE GALAXY
a stream-patching web UI, or by connecting to a third-party control system through a north-bound API. Think of it as a hub for housing all the tasks and controls you need to run your cloud-based operation in a near-plug- and-play fashion. globe-spanning productions actually need? The ones we talked to asked for: • easy access to services • automated device discovery and registration • quarantining and managed admission of unknown resources • easy network control (SDN) and orchestration • agility and scalability • BEST OF ALL WORLDS So, what features do operators of watertight network security, protecting operations from hackers and content pirates. As productions grow bigger and deployment requirements in live scenarios supernova, getting a handle on these concerns is key. This is where HOME shines. VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY Whether you work with on-site and/ or remote data hubs, distributed data centres, or a mix of private and public cloud-based resources, HOME always finds a route to the resources you need for the job at hand. HOME automatically discovers and registers any Lawo solution you connect
to the network, while third-party devices are welcomed at the gate and can easily be invited in. In the case of Lawo’s mc² console, all sources and destinations show up immediately when connected. This quarantine state is only one of HOME’s security features and can be switched on or off at the press of a software button. In addition, admittance can be restricted only to those areas of the system a particular device needs to access. Forget long-winded assignments of IP addresses and domains, and time-consuming configuration sessions: HOME provides automatic discovery and mindful registration as standard.
Conversely, resources you admitted previously will be registered on a no-questions-asked basis when you connect them again. GALAXY PATROL IT security used to be the weak spot of any media infrastructure and lacked security solutions that could be deployed in an easy way. HOME’s security starts with the basics, like logging into the management tools using different accounts, with defined roles for operators, administrators and other users. The network itself needs to be secured, too. Your valuable production content should never be allowed to float around, available to anyone. To avoid the pitfalls of a partial or patchy security standard implementation in a multi- vendor set-up, a device-independent encryption strategy is employed at the network level. HOME security is open-standard and leverages the ability of all modern switches to encrypt data at inbound ports, transport them encrypted over the
HEAD IN THE CLOUDS Lawo’s HOME management platform is
simple, scalable and user-friendly
HOME’S MANAGEMENT PLATFORM IS DESIGNED AS A COLLECTION OF MICROSERVICES, MAKING THE SYSTEM SCALABLE AND EASY TO DEVELOP
