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.

“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.”
