Cloud orchestration is the automated coordination and management of cloud-based services, resources, and workflows through a centralized system.
Cloud orchestration refers to the automation of tasks and processes required to manage cloud environments efficiently. It involves provisioning resources, managing workloads, scaling infrastructure, and integrating services across hybrid or multi-cloud ecosystems. Unlike basic automation, which executes isolated tasks, orchestration unifies and coordinates multiple processes, enabling seamless workflows across distributed systems.
In media and broadcast industries, cloud orchestration ensures that compute, storage, and networking resources can be provisioned in real time to meet the demands of live production, contribution, and distribution. This eliminates the need for manual intervention, reduces human error, and allows production teams to focus on creativity rather than infrastructure management.
What Nevion Does
Nevion brings cloud orchestration directly into media production through its flagship platform, VideoIPath. Traditionally focused on IP media orchestration in on-premises networks, VideoIPath has evolved to extend orchestration into the cloud, offering broadcasters seamless workflows that bridge local and cloud resources.
- Dynamic Provisioning: VideoIPath can spin up cloud-based services (e.g., encoders, gateways, SRT receivers), connect them to on-premises infrastructures, and release them automatically once the task is complete.
- End-to-End Orchestration: It orchestrates the full signal path—from contribution at remote sites, to processing in the cloud, to distribution on multiple platforms.
- Hybrid Workflows: Nevion enables broadcasters to mix on-premises and cloud infrastructure, making workflows more flexible and cost-efficient.
- Cloud-Native Scalability: Supports scaling of production resources dynamically, e.g., for high-demand live events.
