Concurrent's CDN Assist is a modular approach for migrating from a traditional VOD infrastructure to a CDN architecture, but one Diamonds judge described it as a "hybrid centralized distributed VOD storage concept taken to a higher level of aggregation."
Boiled down, CDN Assist allows the operator to leverage its existing platform while adding CDN components to increase its content offering. As a supplementary solution, CDN Assist enables operators to efficiently expand content libraries from tens of thousands of titles to hundreds of thousands.Providing a real-world example, Concurrent says one top-five North American MSO used CDN Assist to create a centralized VOD library for long-tail video content. This allowed the company to increase the number of titles it offered and also enabled the operator to start with a few markets and grow over time.www.ccur.comSee them at Cable-Tec Expo, Booth 338Return to the BTR Diamond Technology Reviews Elite.
