DISASTER READY IN THE CLOUD NESN (New England Sports Network) is protecting on-air assets with a cloud-based disaster recovery solution. The business continuity plan features Imagine’s Versio integrated playout infrastructure, optimised in the cloud with AWS. The implementation takes the live feeds from stadiums in parallel – one back to the main playout centre and one to the cloud. Using an automated process that mirrors on-prem content and operations in the cloud, Imagine ensures commercials and playlists are up to date and ready to air. In the event of failure, output can be switched to the cloud. The deployed solution will also automate the playlist processing. Control of the changeover, and of live playout, can be implemented from any location with an internet link.
