Welcome to Part 1 of Building Software Defined Infrastructure - a new multi-part content collection from Tony Orme. This series is for broadcast engineering & IT teams seeking to deepen their technical understanding of the microservices based IT technologies that are set to drive the next phase of transition from hardware to software based broadcast systems.
Part 1 contains four articles which discuss what Software Defined Infrastructure is, the infrastructure models it enables, how virtualization and microservices differ, how microservices form the basis of Software Defined Infrastructure and why they provide much better solutions for broadcasters, especially when considering scalability, resilience and security.

Professional Audio & Television (PAT) is proud to announce that RNZ (Radio New Zealand) has chosen Lawo mc²36 MKII audio consoles, associated I/O devices and Arista switch fabric for its prestigious recording locations at Auckland’s Town Hall and Wellington’s Michael Fowler Centre.
One of the great advantages of the internet is that it relies on open standards that promote routing of IP packets between multiple networks. But this provides many challenges when considering security. The good news is that we have solutions through IPsec (IP Security) to alleviate these concerns.
We can now capture video in much higher resolutions than we can transmit, distribute and display. But should we?
To get the best out of a microphone it is important to understand how it differs from the human ear.
Understanding the terminology and technical theory of camera sensors & lenses is a key element of specifying systems to meet the consumer desire for High Dynamic Range.
By assuming that IP must be made secure, we run the risk of missing a more fundamental question that is often overlooked: why is IP so insecure?
