The media and entertainment industry was valued at $1.81 trillion in 2016, and is expected to reach $2.14 trillion by 2020. Activities within this industry have grown over the last couple of years, and now range from creating content for movies, TV and games, to delivering that content. This is increasingly performed via on-demand data networks rather than traditional over-the-air broadcasting, watched over high resolution displays that enhance the overall viewing experience of the user, and even the latter is being delivered from the same storage repositories. Media production is also now prevalent in areas not traditionally associated with this activity, such as training, museums, and education.

Can your business afford to lose $9,000 per minute? According to the Ponemon Institute $9,000 is the average cost of an unplanned outage. In some cases the costs are much higher. The catalogue of cloud outages over recent years is well publicized and reads like a “who’s who” of the technology industry. It seems no one is immune. But when it comes to delivering digital content, downtime isn’t the only concern. Today a poor user experience can be just as damaging as an outage.

Get these right, and content providers are on their way to winning the loyalty of online audiences and driving monetization. Get them wrong, and viewers will defect in a heartbeat. For live-streaming events, such as sports, where there’s can’t-miss fast action, the ante is raised even higher. In this white paper, we’ll explore why online video quality matters and the specifics of how it should be measured. Get a peek “under the hood” to understand the core elements of video delivery that contribute to high-quality viewing experiences.

According to a recent report by Vidyard, 85% of businesses surveyed now have internal staff and resources producing videos in-house.
