We continue our series on remote collaboration with part two of OWC Host Cirina Catania's interview with Michael Kammes, BeBop’s V.P. of Marketing and Business Development. He discusses in detail how to virtualize post-production in the cloud using Beebop's solutions. Replace your earthly workstations, use fast shared storage, get the ability to conduct live reviews and harvest approvals, and work anywhere with the horsepower of a major data center. What makes this service unique is the low monthly fee that you incur only when you need the service. It works on Windows, Unix, and Linux.
