Rick Champagne Global Media and Entertainment, NVIDIA 140 The over-the-top delivery model – which is almost certainly the future of video services – depends on having excellent security. Microsoft’s digital rights management solutions, like PlayReady, have set a high bar in the field of media content security and specialist video security services providers such as EZDRM leverage these technologies to deliver robust, scalable and easy-to-integrate cloud service offerings for the information and entertainment marketplaces. EZDRM also leverages the most advanced options in microservices implementation within the Microsoft Azure cloud to deliver these offerings. Building on over 20 years of experience, the cloud services model enables EZDRM to evolve its offerings as rapidly as the global aspirations of the service operators.
