NEXTDC Melbourne Data Centre Tour

When moving IT infrastructure from your organisation’s premises to the cloud, proximity and performance, geo-redundancy, and availability become critical. Come and join ASTN for a behind-the-scenes tour of the NextDC data centre M2, Victoria’s largest network of locally available cloud access points. ASTN member company, Layercake will showcase how in-the-cloud media production democratises content production.

NextDC will share details on how the data centre operators provide resilience, reliability and performance through zero-fault-tolerant digital infrastructure, followed by a site tour of the data centre.

As Layercake noted, the media and entertainment industry is undergoing a seismic shift. "Broadcasters and digital platforms are in a race to capture the 'eyeballs of viewers' by delivering more content, across more channels, with higher quality and lower latency, while maintaining predictable costs and simple operations. Traditional infrastructure does not keep pace with these demands".

For further details, please see Layercake's article on broadcast workflows.
