Navisite - In the Cloud

Jon Cheyne and George Tunnicliffe from the National Theatre are talking about archiving and storage at the theatre. How they handle their digital archive, what are the challenges they're facing.

This podcast is about the adoption of Microsoft Azure at the National Theatre. Jon and George are talking about the key motivators that led them to choose Azure over any other public cloud as a storage space for their broadcast. The National Theatre records and broadcasts about 12 of their shows in 4K every year. Each of these produces a phenomenal amount of data and the NT is transitioning from tape back up to a cloud back up version.
