Overview

As an integral component of the MediaHawk Content Delivery System, Concurrent’s MediaHawk 4500 is a standards-based, highly-available video server capable of supporting 2,400 simultaneous on-demand streams (SD content at 3.75 Mbps) over a wide array of transport networks. This high-density server requires only a 2RU enclosure, enabling on-demand complexes scaled to hundreds of thousands of streams with minimized footprint and power consumption. The multi-level memory cache approach and economical commercial hardware design allow service providers to employ scalable, pay-as-you-grow deployment models. Reliability is greatly enhanced with Concurrent’s Gatling Resilient Streaming Technology™, which automatically detects failures and instantly routes stream demands to alternate resources in order to prevent any loss of VOD sessions. When combined with the MediaCache™ 1000, Concurrent’s flash SSD (solid state drives) storage product, the MediaHawk 4500 provides an additional level of reliability while lowering maintenance costs.
