Media & Entertainment
Providing the technological backbone that allows world-class content to be created, managed, and shared - anytime, anywhere
Viewers increasingly expect content to be readily available, 24/7,
with no compromise in quality or security, which means the Media & Entertainment sector’s demand for high-performance, high-availability infrastructure has never been higher. Exponential-e designs and delivers the technology solutions that are driving this evolution, powering everything from on-demand content to historic global broadcasts.
Exponential-e has served as a longstanding partner for leaders in Media & Entertainment, providing tailored, fully integrated combinations of managed IT, connectivity, Cloud, and cyber security solutions - all designed with the sector’s unique requirements in mind.
Media & Entertainment has long been one of the most dynamic, rapidly evolving sectors, and as technological innovation continues to fundamentally change the way content is created and consumed, this is now more the case than ever. The rise of on-demand content has not only transformed viewers’ expectations around the accessibility of media but opened up a range of challenges - but also opportunities - about how content is created, stored, and shared across all channels.
But these innovations must be balanced against an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, with numerous regulations around the handling of user data that must be adhered to, and a growing range of attack vectors, through which cyber criminals stage increasingly complex, aggressive attacks. Any security breaches will put both user data and intellectual property at risk, with potentially serious financial and reputational consequences.
