Velocix aims to quadruple CDN stream density

Velocix has introduced content delivery network (CDN) edge caching software intended to deliver up to four times the streaming output of previous server generations.

The company's latest software release is designed to run on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) reference platforms featuring AMD chips and solid-state NVMe drives to reduce the amount of hardware required to scale-out IPTV and over-the-top (OTT) video services delivered over wireline and 5G wireless networks.

"With traditional video subscribers increasingly transitioning to new multiscreen IP video services, network operators are facing complex scaling challenges that will continue to intensify as stream demand and mobile viewership over 5G networks flourishes," said Craig Sinasac, VP Development and Technology at Velocix. "Our software is carefully tuned to supercharge the capabilities of the foundational hardware platform to maximize stream density and CDN efficiency, resulting in a richer return on investment for our customers."

Velocix will showcase the new video streaming technology, along with its programmatic TV advertising solution and managed services offering, at the NAB 2020 show in Las Vegas in April.
