Concurrent Announces New MediaHawk(R) Software Release
Concurrent (NASDAQ: CCUR), a worldwide leader of on-demand technology
that is shaping the future of television, announced today the release of
new software for the MediaHawk 4500 video-on-demand server. The upgraded
release increases output for the MH4500 to 2,300 streams (standard
definition content @ 3.75 Mbps), a 40% increase in output from the server’s
initial release in January 2007, while supporting additional NGOD (next
generation on-demand) requirements.
"In a rapidly expanding VOD environment, there
is constant pressure to increase streaming density,”
stated Michael Pasquinilli, Concurrent’s vice
president of on-demand engineering. "The
MediaHawk 4500 continues to raise the bar in output performance while
maintaining consistently high session success rates.”
Mr. Pasquinilli also noted that all the new features are simply the
result of a software upgrade, and still maintain the low maintenance and
reliability associated with Concurrent’s use
of commercial, off-the-shelf hardware for the MediaHawk 4500.
The new software release supports many additional NGOD specifications,
broadening the NGOD support already available in earlier releases. The
MediaHawk 4500 is also ISA and RTSP compliant, and has been commercially
deployed in both NGOD and ISA based VOD configurations supporting
advanced on-demand applications such as the time-shifted TV service "Start
Over.”
Even with the dramatic increase in streaming capabilities, the MediaHawk
4500 still requires only a 2RU enclosure, enabling on-demand complexes
scaling up to hundreds of thousands of streams with minimized footprint
and power consumption. The multi-level memory cache approach and
economical commercial hardware design allow service providers to employ
scalable, pay-as-you-grow deployment models. Reliability is greatly
enhanced with Concurrent’s Gatling Resilient
Streaming Technology™, which automatically
detects failures and instantly routes stream demands to alternate
resources in order to prevent any loss of VOD sessions. When combined
with the MediaCache™ 1000, Concurrent’s
flash SSD (solid state drives) storage product, the MediaHawk 4500
provides an additional level of reliability while lowering maintenance
costs.
Concurrent plans to begin immediate shipment of the MediaHawk 4500 with
the new software.
