Cloud computing and outdoor digital signage has started to become integrated, but first we have to understand how the Cloud works to fully appreciate how outdoor digital signage can benefit.

Understanding Cloud Outdoor Digital Signage.

Everyone in the computer industry has been talking about the Cloud, this is an alternative name for the Internet, as shown in the illustration below.

As you can see the outdoor digital signage hardware is connected to the Cloud using either a hard wired or wireless solution and is controlled from a remote location, making it ideal for updating content on digital signage networks that are located throughout a city, country or even the world using the cloud.

Cloud outdoor digital signage – what is needed?
For any cloud outdoor digital signage solution, you have to have a cloud based system and this includes outdoor digital signage hardware that is network enabled, then all an integrator has to do is deploy the outdoor digital signage hardware and run both power and an internet feed to the location then once the solution is fully wired in it can be tested using either a laptop or iPad by connecting to the cloud and using the cloud outdoor digital signage software to login and update the content.

Now you have to consider the company to partner with and one such company is digitalsignage.net who offer a Cloud based solution, this cloud outdoor digital signage software brings unseen levels of scalability and performance to any digital signage solution, as it runs on virtual servers in 6 of its global data centers. This software is used to provide reports on displayed ads, dwell time and number of rotations in a given time period.

Security of a Cloud-based solution is one of the main questions, however with security being the number one requirement for Cloud solutions you find that Cloud based security exceeds most in-house, premises based security.
