Ericsson has launched a new cloud DVR solution that is applicable to all QAM and IP-based TV platforms.
The solution, powered by the Ericsson Video Storage and Processing Platform, is a high performance, software-based infrastructure, Ericsson said.
The new platform offers a unique, proven infrastructure which allows for seamless augmentation and replacement of legacy TV services with new cloud-based services.
It integrates and virtualizes the storage and processing capabilities of as many Commercial-Off-The-Shelf servers as needed, providing outstanding performance gains and allowing operators to avoid many of the complexities and costs associated with launching new services.
Ove Anebygd, VP and head of solution area media at Ericsson said, “Today's viewers are more prescriptive than ever. They want simplicity in discovery and immediacy of access to TV Anywhere services, and content delivered in the highest possible quality.”
“Our customers need the most advanced cloud-centric solutions to drive functions from the home into the cloud, and to enable service differentiation and new efficiencies. Our new cloud DVR solution places us at the forefront of technology capability and performance, with proven deployments at the most demanding customer sites, totaling over 150 petabytes of storage capacity,” the executive said.
In addition, the Ericsson Video Storage and Processing Platform also enables multiple video storage and video processing applications.
