Overview
Concurrent’s MediaHawk® Content Delivery System optimizes price and performance by leveraging
a multi-level caching strategy that is matched to the respective storage technology.
This strategy allows Concurrent to provide the ideal combination of high performance
and reliability, with a scalable solution that makes economic sense. The new MediaCache
1000 leverages the reliability and throughput density of solid state drives (SSD);
its nonvolatility allows it to retain memory even during sudden power outages, providing
three times the reliability of traditional disk-based storage, while supporting
over five times the streaming throughput. Just like DRAM SSDs, flash SSDs are extremely
fast since these devices have no moving parts, eliminating seek time, latency and
other electro-mechanical delays inherent in conventional disk drives.
