WHAT WE COVER
NEW PRODUCT INTELLIGENCE
On Demand Video Servers, or ODVS, has proven the hottest digital media infrastructure topic over the past 18 months. Emerging content distribution architectures, such as network-based digital video recording and time-shifted TV, fuel significantly greater network demands and challenges in areas such as scalability, reliability, on demand functionality, advanced advertising methods and improved energy efficiency metrics. Burgeoning consumer and business demand for content delivered in high definition and on demand will continue to drive service provider requirements for managing the storage, streaming and operational costs attached to offering and scaling personalized content experiences on an “Any Content, Anytime, Anywhere” basis. In 2009-10, the ODVS market will witness dynamic competitive shifts as ODVS technology evolves rapidly to support the expanding array of network requirements dedicated to ODVS platforms and as the range of ODVS implementation options expands. This emerging market reality will raise the competitive stakes among ODVS vendors as they compete more intensely to fulfill evolving and demanding customer demands for new and improved ODVS capabilities. Delivered via our web-based platform CurrentCOMPETE™, the Current Analysis On Demand Video Server Product Assessments provide an important perspective and true view of this quickly evolving market. The Product Assessments offer detailed analysis of the key offerings in the space and Current Analysis’ online platform allows users to create side-by-side comparisons of any of the offerings.

The Current Analysis Digital Media Infrastructure module focuses on the delivery of digital content and related networking technologies. This module covers areas such as digital video and IPTV networking that extends from the service provider network to the customer premises. This module also addresses content security as part of overall coverage, including analysis on related issues such as content regulation. Coverage areas include: • IPTV Solutions: Single vendor solution sets that combine various networking elements such as access and video networking into a comprehensive package. Such elements include broadband access, broadband aggregation, IPTV middleware, VoD server, video headend, and content protection elements: • IPTV Middleware Technology: Software embedded in consumer CPE, typically set-top boxes that manage the user interface and the delivery of video to the TV such as IP-based video broadcast and video on demand. • VoD Server Technology: Network servers that support software, and are purpose-developed and dedicated to VoD applications. • Video Head-end Technology: Part of the network that concentrates video networking technologies required to deliver video over broadband. Specifically this addresses the platforms that support encoder capabilities and closely related capabilities such as media routing. • Content Protection Technology: Technology required to ensure the security and integrity of IP-based video applications. Specifically this addresses digital rights management (DRM) and conditional access (CA) technologies. | Client Access | Module Description | |
