Tektronix intros industry's first cloud-based QC platform

BEAVERTON, USA: Tektronix has announced its new QCloud cloud-based Quality Control (QC) Software Subscription platform, which is optimized for deployment on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

QCloud is the first QC solution for file-based workflows running on a cloud infrastructure and meets the QC needs of the production, post production, broadcast and online video service market segments that operate file-based workflows on AWS and other cloud platforms.

Processing content through QC software is a standard practice for all companies involved in the production and distribution of programming, but QC processing is computationally intensive requiring capital intensive solutions.

For workflow owners, QCloud shifts the capital spend model to an operational expense model and spreads spending over time. Users who require assistance managing occasional load spikes can also benefit from using QCloud to handle increases that go beyond the capacity of their on-premise Tektronix Cerify QC solution.

QCloud allows companies, large or small, to scale the system and their cost of ownership to meet budget and use needs via a usage-based licensing model. For those who are ingesting, storing and processing their content in the cloud, QCloud negates the time consuming process of transferring content to on-premise systems for QC purposes.
