Global media and entertainment industry body
elects Alibaba Cloud to advise its Board of Directors
Alibaba Cloud, the data intelligence backbone
of Alibaba Group, has today announced its latest elected membership
to the Content Delivery and Security Association (CDSA) Technology
Committee, recognizing the importance of its robust, secure and
scalable cloud platform currently used by many global media and
entertainment (M&E) organisations.
Alibaba Cloud is the first China-based global cloud service
provider to be elected to the Committee, which named 17 members to
the committee for the annual term. The Committee, composed of
industry leaders in the service provider community, will advise
CDSA’s Board and Content Advisors on the new control framework and
business model for application and cloud security assessments, new
technology solutions and improved workflows for IP protection,
security and compliance, that are reshaping the way content is
produced, managed and delivered.
Alibaba Cloud is also a new member of CDSA and the Media &
Entertainment Service Alliance (MESA). As the first Chinese company
to become a member of MESA, the global leading cloud provider will
work with the 150+ member companies to drive efficiencies, and help
enable digital transformation of the M&E industry.
One of six technology communities within MESA, CDSA supports
cybersecurity and content protection solutions within the M&E
industry, including those responsible for film, television, games,
music, and entertainment.
Guy Finley, President at MESA and CDSA, said, “We welcome
Alibaba Cloud as a new member of CDSA’s Technology Committee, as
Alibaba Cloud has demonstrated it embraces a collaborative approach
along with their robust abilities in securing content for the
entertainment industry. We look forward to working with these
industry experts to drive new initiatives and broader global
engagement with content owners around content protection and
information security technology solutions for media and
entertainment.”
Larry Xiao, General Manager of Security at Alibaba Cloud
Intelligence and Vice President of Alibaba Group, said, “As the
media and entertainment industry becomes primarily digital, cloud
is playing an increasingly important role, and security is a
critical consideration. Becoming a member of CDSA demonstrates our
commitment to content security in the cloud, and we are pleased to
be able to play our part in establishing security standards,
setting industry best practices, and serving content providers,
platform providers and customers. We also feel that working as part
of the organisation will help increase transparency and
collaboration between different companies in every part of the
world.”
A number of renowned production studios - including Animal Logic
and Territory Studio – have partnered with Alibaba Cloud, assured
by its ability to meet dynamic production needs. They are using a
range of cloud technologies to drive efficiencies in media
production, from improving the speed of decision making through to
easier cross-site collaboration with artists and developer teams
across the world.
These latest memberships follow Alibaba Cloud being assessed by
the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) earlier this year.
Alibaba Cloud provides a number of solutions that are used by
entertainment customers to gain efficiencies in scale, reliability,
global reach and security across their whole media supply chain.
Whether for content creation, processing or distribution
requirements, services like Object Storage Service, Express
Connect, Cloud Storage Gateway, Media Processing Service and CDN
(Content Delivery Network), enable customers to implement a full
content supply chain more quickly without an upfront investment in
infrastructure.
Alibaba Group’s rich and diverse ecosystem, including the
digital media and entertainment business, provides various business
scenarios to keep enhancing Alibaba Cloud’s technologies and
algorithms, which will ultimately be turned into offerings to
benefit a wide spectrum of customers.
“As part of the Alibaba ecosystem and global strategy, Alibaba
Entertainment has a comprehensive quality content and new
infrastructure, driving the industry digitalization and providing
better entertainment experiences to audiences,” said Gao Xiaosong,
Chairman of Alibaba Entertainment Strategic Committee. “We are very
pleased to be able to push forward this significant long-term
partnership. With the support of the Alibaba Ecosystem, such as
cloud service, mobile payment, online ticketing, etc., we hope to
contribute to the infrastructure of the global entertainment
industry.”
