How does Santa do it all in one Night?

Parallel Execution Across Distributed Resources (of course)!

Many theories exist as to how Santa delivers a toy to every child in one night, but most in the technology field understand Santa to be the ultimate example of a scale-out execution model that leverages embarrassingly-parallel adaptive operations on a global scale (with a lot of love mixed in). 

For those of us in media contending with high-stress release dates, should we be using the Santa Model to distribute our rendering, transcoding and various other media workloads across multiple facilities - and the Cloud - without having to assemble an army of Elves or a brigade of reindeer? 

Join us for the MESS-LA event that is sure to make Christmas history, as we journey through questions like: When does geo-distributed processing and rendering win-out over high-speed & consolidated render systems? Is the Cloud ready for real content rendering and transcoding? Or do elves' gremlins persist in this model? Will Santa put coal in my stocking if I fail to attend this holiday MESS event?

Distributed Rendering, Real-Time Analytics, Quantum-mechanics, and Holiday Cheer… all are on-tap.
