Polish cable operator Vectra has deployed Concurrent's (NASDAQ:CCUR) UpShift Unified Content Delivery Solution to expand its VOD service offering and improve the variety of content available to subscribers. Vectra also streamlined its video network to make it easier to add server and storage capacity.
UpShift is Concurrent's licensed CDN solution, designed to enable cable, telecommunications, and Internet service providers to launch premium live and on-demand streaming services to any screen, over any network.
"Concurrent's UpShift CDN enabled us to centralize our content storage, reduce the number of sites that we maintain, and keep streaming at the edge of the network where it is most efficient," said Bartłomiej Irzyński, CTO at Vectra. "With the new system in place, we can scale our content library more cost effectively and offer more choice to our customers, while at the same time reducing our maintenance expenses."
Concurrent has supplied streaming solutions to Vectra since the launch of its VOD service in 2012. Vectra Group has 663,000 digital TV subscribers, 538,000 fixed Internet and 16,000 mobile Internet clients, and 200,000 telephone subscribers.
