MILPITAS, Calif., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Corporation
(NYSE: LSI) today announced a platform featuring the company's
networking and storage solutions to enable content delivery
networks (CDN) that bring rich media services to multi-screen
environments. The combination of the LSI® Axxia® Network
Accelerator, Axxia Media Accelerator and WarpDrive™ SLP-300
solid-state acceleration card provides a programmable platform that
brings significant performance, manageability and scalability
enhancements to application and content delivery servers.
"With the exploding growth of rich media within the data center
environment and on mobile devices, more efficient media processors
and storage capabilities are required to meet today's demands,"
said Will Strauss, principal
analyst, Forward Concepts. "The adoption of CDN servers powered by
LSI solutions helps OEMs contend with this issue."
Data center and mobile network operators can store files such as
frequently viewed video content closer to users at the edge of the
network to improve quality of experience (QoE), reduce latency and
optimize bandwidth usage. CDN servers using the LSI portfolio of
networking and storage solutions provide the foundation that
enables equipment manufacturers to reduce operating expenses for
their customers while delivering rich media content and enabling
new services. Additionally, the LSI networking and storage
solutions allow equipment manufacturers to decrease time to market,
support new codec standards and help OEMs produce products with
upgradeable features.
"By preventing network congestion, data center and mobile CDN
servers make it easier for users to access live broadcast video,
video on-demand, and other video and graphics-intensive content
from any screen, at any time and in any place," said Steve Vandris, media processor product line
director, Networking Components Division, LSI. "Our portfolio of
network and storage solutions makes it easier for OEMs to more
cost-effectively manage rich media content and deliver a higher QoE
to users."
The LSI portfolio for enabling data center and mobile CDN
servers includes the Axxia Network Accelerator, Axxia Media
Accelerator and WarpDrive SLP-300 acceleration card. The
Axxia Network Accelerator, a PCI Express® based intelligent
services adapter card, is based upon the Axxia Communication
Processor. The Axxia Media Accelerator card for real-time
acceleration of transcoding and transrating video is based on the
StarPro® SP2700 Media Processor. The award-winning LSI
WarpDrive SLP-300 acceleration card offers performance up to
240,000 sustained input/output per second. The LSI portfolio of
networking and storage solutions enables OEMs to offer an
easy-to-deploy CDN solution that offloads compute-intensive
networking functions in enterprise, mobile and data center
applications.
