Media Flow

On September 1, 2010 uniper Networks announced the beginning of sales of new subsystems of the VXA series for processing of media data – the high performance applications for content delivery allowing to increase scalability and reliability of the solution Media Flow of Juniper. Media Flow– the solution for convergent content delivery and caching which gives the chance to service providers and creators of content more effectively and is profitable to perform delivery of media data.

As the interests of users in the field of entertainments are displaced in the Internet, the popularity of media content grows that in turn leads to increase in traffic and increase in load of networks and data processing centers. Network operators and suppliers of content try to find more effective and scalable delivery patterns of content and experiment with new services in the field of providing media data.

The solution Media Flow of Juniper company gives the chance:

• Cut down expenses: The solution Media Flow allows to cache and bring content to networks of service providers that helps to reduce traffic volumes and also capital and operating expenses. Creators of content can use Media Flow as the buffer of the next generation which high degree of scalability will allow to consolidate resources of servers and to cut down the expenses connected with energy consumption, rack space and cooling.
• Increase satisfaction of users: Thanks to use of the latest stream technologies, the solution Media Flow allows to improve considerably quality of reproduction of video signal and to configure network settings. Besides, localization of content delivery gives the chance to reduce waiting time of a response.
• Increase profit: The solution Media Flow gives to service providers the chance to provide new attractive content services, expanding a set of business models and increasing investment soundness in network infrastructure. Media Flow allows to provide qualitative delivery services of entertaining content at any time and on any device.

The solution Media Flow developed together with Ankeena Networks, Juniper acquired company in April, 2010 is included into a portfolio of the Junos Ready software products today.

Basis for the solution Media Flow is Media Flow Controller of Juniper Networks company – the software application for hierarchical caching providing control of requirements to content, network parameters and infrastructure for data storage for the purpose of ensuring optimum efficiency and performance of caching. The solution Media Flow also includes Media Flow Manager – the application for management of elements – and the VXA series subsystems which recently went on sale for processing of media data.

Media Flow Controller can be installed on VXA series subsystems for processing of media data or on universal servers of x86. In both cases Media Flow Controller allows to achieve higher performance and scalability based on the available equipment that gives to clients the chance to reduce the number of servers in networks, and respectively – and the expenses connected with energy consumption, rack space and cooling.

The solution Media Flow and subsystems of the VXA series for processing of media data already went on sale. More detailed information is provided on the website of the company.
