CloudSigma’s CEO to Present on Cloud Sourcing for Media Industry Collaboration at HPA Tech Retreat 2013

CloudSigma CEO and Co-Founder Robert Jenkins, to participate in Session, "Professional Forecast: Cloudy but Clearing"

Palo Alto, US - February 11, 2013 - CloudSigma, an international, customer-centric, pure-cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider, today announced that its CEO, Robert Jenkins, will be speaking at the 2013 HPA Tech Retreat, February 18-22, in Indian Wells, CA. Together with executives from Warner Bros., T3Media, Tajkowski Group and Media Systems Consulting, Jenkins will be speaking on the panel, "Professional Forecast: Cloudy but Clearing," being held on Thursday, February 21 at 4:45 p.m. PST.

Moderated by Testronic Labs CEO Seth Hallen, the panelists will explore professional post-production applications in the cloud. Central to the panel's discussion will be the concept of CloudSourcing, whereby a multi-tenant public cloud IaaS environment is utilized by various media project members to tap into globally dispersed, post-production professionals in a high-performing, cost efficient way.

"In the post-production process, specialists often collaborate with other companies and team members from all over the world," said Jenkins. "As such, they frequently encounter major latency and bandwidth issues and delays given the large volumes of data involved. But, by bringing them all under one roof in a multi-tenant, public cloud environment, we can help bridge the gap between these specialists and the rest of the project teams. Not only is using the cloud for post-production applications much more cost efficient and accessible, but it can also mean the difference in delivering a media project in a matter of years versus months."
