Disney/ABC Moving Broadcast Operations to the Cloud

Broadcasting & Cable: The 2015 NAB Show kicked off with a major tech deal that will see Disney/ABC move its linear broadcast operations —  global programming playout, delivery and network operations — to a unified IP cloud architecture. The transition to IP and cloud-based technologies will be a major topic this year at the show, and the Disney/ABC announcement marks the first time that a major network will deploy a cloud-based playout or master control system.
