SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic
(NASDAQ: HLIT), the worldwide leader in video delivery technology
and services, today announced the next evolution of its
award-winning VOS™ offerings, addressing the need for increased
agility, adaptability and state-of-the-art technology for OTT and
IPTV deployments. VOS SW Cluster is a comprehensive software
application that embeds market-leading media processing, including
ingest, playout, compression, encryption, packaging, and origin,
and supports both cloud and bare metal compute environments. Highly
adaptive and responsive to user needs, the VOS SW Cluster solution
can be used by video content and service providers of any size and
on any platform for the origination and delivery of IPTV and OTT
services. The VOS SW Cluster solution has already been successfully
deployed by a leading telecommunications service provider in the
Asia-Pacific region.
"Being successful in today's media environment is highly
dependent upon how quickly you can adapt," said Tim Warren, senior vice president and chief
technology officer, video business, at Harmonic. "The VOS SW
Cluster offering expands upon the flexibility and agility of our
award-winning VOS Cloud media processing application, enabling
operators to be even more nimble in using datacenter resources.
With the VOS SW Cluster solution, video content and service
providers can handle every step of the media processing chain using
datacenters, the cloud, or both to launch services faster and
deliver high-quality IPTV and OTT content on every screen."
As an infrastructure-independent media processing application,
the VOS SW Cluster offering makes it easy for operators to switch
between bare metal datacenter computing (e.g., off-the-shelf IT),
public clouds (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure), and private clouds.
Having an elastic and always up-to-date media workflow enables
operators to launch services faster, scale seamlessly with
operational efficiency, and ensure consistent functionality across
all deployment environments. With a simple intent-driven user
interface, operators have more time to focus on service innovation
and test new service offerings. The VOS SW Cluster application
enables operators to keep pace with the latest OTT workflows,
including live publishing to social media online platforms,
streaming VOD from live and file sources, groundbreaking Ultra-HD
OTT with HDR, and low-latency delivery via the CMAF
specification.
The VOS SW Cluster solution joins Harmonic's groundbreaking VOS
family, which helps video content and service providers succeed in
the quickly evolving OTT market by leveraging the latest
advancements in software and cloud technology. The VOS family also
includes VOS 360 media processing SaaS, which utilizes the VOS SW
Cluster solution, and VOS Engine, an advanced container-based
software module. The VOS 360 offering is part of a growing line of
SaaS offerings hosted, maintained and monitored by Harmonic that
deliver the company's market-leading media processing and delivery
technologies as a service.
