SUWANEE, Ga., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS)
today announced that two of its On Demand Video solutions have been
singled out by the judges of trade publication Broadband Gear
Report (BGR) with scores of four diamonds or better, out of a
possible five. The solutions honored are the ARRIS ConvergeMedia
Management System and the Verivue MDX9200 flash-based media
distribution switch (available through ARRIS). "Today's cable
operators must live by the 'always on' motto, and the Diamond
Technology Reviews judges concluded that the ARRIS ConvergeMedia
Management Suite was an excellent solution to help them do just
that," said Laura Hamilton, editor-in-Chief at BGR. "They were
impressed by the suite's abilities to unify the management of
on-demand content and delivery including advertising. Additionally,
the Diamond judges that reviewed the ARRIS MDX 9200 Media
Distribution Switch, saw it as an innovative solution with a broad
set of potential benefits. They called out the solid state storage
as the real differentiator." The ARRIS ConvergeMedia Management
System offers a Unified Video Platform that supports VOD, Broadcast
Linear & VOD Advertising on a single platform. It can import
real time encoded content, legacy content, heterogeneous and
hierarchical content together on a common platform to create new
services. It also offers the ability to personalize subscriber
content, provides full content life cycle management and active
failover redundancy, and can be used to offer dynamic On Demand
Advertising and Interactive TV. The ARRIS MDX9200 offers very high
streams to storage ratio and is ideal for managed content delivery
network (CDN) architectures controlling large amounts of media
across distributed networks and geographies. It features a new
edge/caching server architecture, designed for MSOs' media
requirements, web applications and multi-protocol video content
ingest and delivery. It offers unprecedented scale with ultra low
power consumption and combines solid state local storage, embedded
video processing, and a carrier-designed chassis. Visit the ARRIS
