With the move to the cloud hosted editing system the BBC is looking for options to provide the playout servers on premises to integrate with the existing infrastructure on site. There are currently 5 sites that will be in scope for this change, across the United Kingdon. Each site has multiple studios, up to a, current, maximum of 15 on a single site.
