NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Vecima
Networks Inc. (TSX:VCM) announced today it won two 2019 Broadband
Technology Report (BTR) Diamond Technology Review awards: one for
its MediaScaleX // StorageTM solution and one for
its EntraTM Video QAM Manager (VQM). Highly
reputable in the cable and telecom industry, the awards are based
on a variety of criteria, including unique technological
innovation, ease-of-use, efficiency, reliability, and contribution
to profitability, and is judged by panel of executives from
operators such as Buckeye, Comcast, Charter, Cox, Mediacom, and
Rogers.
MediaScaleX // Storage is a media optimized,
software-defined storage system built for the unique use case
challenges inherent to the media and service provider industries.
The transition to IP-based video storage and delivery, and the
requirement to store DVR copies in the cloud, has some operators
struggling to build out scalable infrastructure that can meet the
demands of rapidly increasing customer requirements. MediaScaleX //
Storage is differentiated in that it answers the market need for
performance, scale, and efficiency by leveraging multiple commodity
storage technologies seamlessly to meet the workload demands and
the data retention demands required by today's time shifted use
cases and network DVR. These complex requirements are uniquely
addressed in a cost-efficient manner with commodity hardware and
through an innovative hybrid object storage technology.
"Over the course of creating four generations of media optimized
storage products, Vecima has developed a data interface layer and
storage architecture that is highly suited to the demands of IP
video storage and distribution, especially for cloud DVR use
cases," said Mr. Stephen Blinick,
Senior Director of Storage Research & Development at
Vecima. "Our optimized interface library meets the challenge of
latency spikes observed in small and top-tier MSO environments by
enabling extremely large bursts in I/O."
Entra VQM allows for integration of video at the Converged
Interconnect Network (CIN) rather than at the principal core or at
the node. Strong adherence to standards with loosely coupled
modularity allows for a tailored transition towards transport of
video over IP. Providing vendor-agnostic support for both video
source and Remote PHY Device (RPD), along with a RESTful API, allow
for evolution. Entra VQM also allows engineers to integrate
video in a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) environment with
existing infrastructure such as Edge QAMs or bulk video encryptors.
Eliminating analog transport of video reduces operational costs by
adopting a unified transport architecture to maximize efficiency of
fiber usage.
"Entra VQM brings an open approach to DAA deployments by
providing operators choice as to how video services are deployed,
while reducing operational costs," said Mr. Ryan Nicometo, Senior Vice President of Product
& Marketing at Vecima. "Working with the Entra Legacy QAM
Adapter or third party video engines, VQM supports RPDs from
multiple vendors, demonstrating a commitment to
interoperability."
Vecima will be demonstrating the new technologies at SCTE
Cable-Tec Expo in New Orleans from
October 1-3, 2019 in booth 1529. To
