I keep hearing about the promise of the cloud for content processing and this is a great example of another little company touting the same old story.
What these people have failed to even think about or consider, is that the cloud is a hackers paradise.
Daily, we hear about attacks on Amazon’s EC2 and Microsoft Azure. Even large corporations such as Sony are not exempt, case in point – their subscriber database was hacked.
I run security for a large post house and what would be clear to most of these people is that if that had left their office and actually spoken with someone at the MPAA or even a content producer, no one will even hand over premium content to reside, unsecured, on a publicly available cloud infrastructure. It makes no sense at all
