IDEAL CLOUD DIVISION
Ideal’s Cloud Division is called Ideal Media Works, who compliment and support IDEAL’s regional offices offering specialized cloud consultancy, systems architecture and software integration services to enable IDEAL’s customers to execute an efficient path into the Cloud and support cloud based systems.
Ideal Media Works also provides Alice, a Platform as a service (PAAS). Alice is a cloud native Business Process Management (BPM), operations orchestration and integration framework. It allows for the logical integration and management of disparate business and technical functions of today’s broadcast and media operators. As broadcast manufacturers around the world move their technology to cloud-based systems, operators are facing the task of integrating many of these different cloud-based products into their technical and business workflow, which is exactly the problem that Alice solves.

Solution Architecture
Ideal understand the future of broadcast is tied to the cloud and unlike many ‘cloud’ integrators we have a unique understanding of how to apply cloud design patterns to enterprise media systems. In many cases a hybrid or staggered approach to cloud adoption is required. Agnostic to cloud service providers and vendor products Ideal can help customers realize an efficient solution free of bias.
Secure Storage
Traditional removable media archives and bulk archive libraries have presented a number of ongoing issues; the refreshing of old media, library scaling and support costs being a major concern for large archives. Ideal offer a number of managed cloud storage solutions that provide encrypted, accelerated archive storage in the cloud that help address these concerns and provide a higher availability at a lower cost than traditional cloud archive solutions.
Machine Learning
Machine learning (ML) can be characterized as training an algorithm to select results based on iterative improvements on the algorithm when applied to a data set. Manual tasks such as compliance, subtitling and dubbing transcription can now be automated with minimal input required to verify and improve the operation of the ML algorithms. Ideal can help our customers apply ML to optimize their workflows and content preparation process and realize the competitive advantage ML offers.
Managed Services
For many dealing with the complexities of public cloud providers and handling the day to day support of cloud based infrastructure can be a burden, requiring expensive and often underutilized specialist staff. Ideal can provide managed services at competitive rates to handle as much, or as little, of this as required.
