Thursday at 2pm ET I'll be moderating another StreamingMedia.com webinar, this time on the topic of "Best Practices for Transcoding and Video Workflow In The Cloud". The cloud offers huge power for video publishers, but also specific challenges that require the right architecture to overcome. This webinar will give best practices for designing an efficient and cost-effective approach to the video transcoding workflow, whether the challenge is to stream a corporate event from a remote facility or transcode a library containing thousands of clips.

Three industry experts will briefly highlight the best practices for transcoding and video workflow in the cloud, with the majority of the time dedicated to the audience Q&A. While the event will cover the basics, it is geared towards a technically advanced audience. The webinar will cover:

• Benefits of using the cloud for video encoding
• Understanding the key differences between live and file-based transcoding workflows and requirements
• Encoding recommendations for multi-device publishing
• Understanding your target devices and defining the most efficient set of profiles for your audience
• Keeping costs down without sacrificing performance
• Key considerations in designing your live event and file-based transcoding workflows
• The need for scale, and potential for automation, of workflow
• Cloud based storage and transcoding as an integrated service

Register here and bring your questions for the presenters for the live Q&A portion of the event.

Traditionally, managed subscription services have been delivered via CDNs at the Internet edge, while unmanaged over-the-top content is delivered from transparent caches at the access network edge. Recent industry developments suggest that these two formerly separate approaches will become more coordinated, creating a unified delivery infrastructure that will bring both CDN-managed and OTT content to the network edge – improving end user quality and network economics.

At the Content Delivery Summit, taking place Monday, May 14th in NYC, this session will review the trends that are driving this transformation, and explain how these different delivery methods are converging. It will explore the technical and business benefits and challenges for content providers, network operators and consumers. Confirmed speakers include:

• Moderator: Mark Taylor, VP, Media and IP Services, Level 3
• Gilad Peleg, VP Marketing, Business Development, Oversi
  
• Alan Arolovitch, CTO, PeerApp
• Anshu Agarwal, Head of Product Management, Content and Media, Juniper Networks
• Hashem Ebrahimi, VP, Engineering, SuperLumin Networks

Many content owners are already using a content delivery network (CDN) to cache content closer to their visitors, but CDNs don't reduce the number of requests required to render each page, and they have no impact on browser efficiency. At the Content Delivery Summit, taking place Monday, May 14th in NYC, learn how Front-end optimization (FEO) picks up where CDNs leave off, transforming the content itself so that it renders as quickly as possible in the browser.

Joshua Bixby, President of Strangeloop Networks will enable attendees to see real-world examples of how leading e-commerce sites have combined CDN and FEO forces to reach new levels of performance for content-rich pages. Get real numbers on how quickly content-rich sites loaded pre-acceleration, then with just a CDN, then with a combined CDN/FEO solution.
