Abstract: What will the media enterprise infrastructure look like in 2036? Current trends of IT/IP/cloud provide some guidance for the structure of future systems. This paper takes a deep look at the evolution of the system’s components and architecture and examines some possible scenarios for infrastructure choices. Considered will be extrapolated trends for transport, networking, storage, compute, and cloud futures, and a discussion of exponential technology growth and its impact on media creation, production, and distribution.
