Report | Television in the cloud virtualisation era

Pay TV operators are under pressure.  They face growing competitive threats in the shape of OTT services and bundled offerings from telecom rivals. As a result, they need to provide new application experiences that can be brought to market at Web speed and delivered consistently across every device.

Cloud TV and virtualisation promise to help operators deliver exciting new services quickly and efficiently, without the delays involved in deploying new set-top boxes.  But opinions differ about which applications are most likely to benefit from cloud technology and how much set-top box functionality will be moved to the cloud.

DTVE recently surveyed over 150 video industry players from over 40 countries, including TV operators and broadcasters, to find out about their perceptions of cloud TV, which applications they believe are key and how they view the evolution of their service infrastructure.

The resulting report, which is now available to download free of charge, presents a fascinating overview of current perceptions and priorities, pointing the way to how cloud virtualisation can deliver real and measurable benefits to operators and their customers.
