GEC NEWS WIRECloud DVR platform incorporates a number of advances in storage; Verlocix CDN technology allows SPs to optimize video content for delivery on any device
Alcatel-Lucent is set to boost the performance of its cloud-based IP video storage and content delivery technologies with the introduction of its enhanced Cloud DVR platform and the new Elastic Content Delivery Network. This will allow service providers to manage network capacity more dynamically as they deal with ever-growing customer demand.
With more consumers moving away from set top boxes to watch on-demand content over their smartphones, tablets and other connected devices, data traffic across networks is increasing dramatically. Alcatel-Lucent has evolved its IP video portfolio to help service providers manage this traffic, designing their data storage and delivery networks with greater efficiency.
Bev Crair, Vice President Data Center Group, General Manager Storage of Intel said: “Intel’s collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent on Cloud DVR is an example of our work with the industry to ensure that efficient storage solutions fully optimized for Intel architecture are fueling the next generation of digital service innovation.”
Paul Larbey, head of Alcatel-Lucent’s IP Video business, said: “Our IP Video portfolio help customers better manage the changes in traffic that they are seeing as their subscribers move away from the set top box to viewing on demand video over a variety of connected devices.”
