CloudSigma CEO and Co-founder Robert Jenkins to participate in Session, “My Life in the Clouds: Opportunities and Challenges for Consumer and Enterprise Cloud Storage”

Zurich, Switzerland – January 4, 2013 – CloudSigma, an international, customer-centric, pure-cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider, today announced its CEO and Co-founder, Robert Jenkins, will highlight the advantages of public cloud environments for digital media companies at the 2013 Storage Visions Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jenkins is joined by Scott Van Woudenberg, Product Manager, Google, among others for the My Life in the Clouds: Opportunities and Challenges for Consumer and Enterprise Cloud Storage panel on January 7 at 1:15 p.m. PST.

During the session, Jenkins will detail how in this new age of petabytes, public cloud ecosystems provide a compelling solution for the storage of large media productions, each with their own unique workflows and data transfer requirements. Media professionals need more time to focus on the creative aspects of projects, and implementing a central cloud environment with multiple solutions allows them to streamline what used to be a cumbersome production process.

Critical to this streamlining process is the ability to rapidly exchange large volumes of data across a variety of geographic locations, as companies are often working on extremely tight deadlines. Jenkins’ presentation will demonstrate how consolidating an array of cloud solutions into a single environment is even more beneficial than open-source distributed block storage systems, which deliver a scalable and performance-driven storage option with minimal hardware requirements.

“One of digital media companies’ biggest concerns with cloud storage is the potential to over – or under – provision,” says Jenkins. “These organizations need a more efficient way to access important data at any production stage in a cost-efficient manner, regardless of their geographic locations. One way to eliminate this concern is to utilize multiple cloud solutions, located in one centralized environment. I’m excited to speak at the 2013 Storage Visions Conference about the opportunity that these organizations have to reduce costs and become more innovative, prominent players in the media production industry.”
