| Name: | Blackwave 8170 Distribution System |
| Product URL: | http://www.blackwave.tv/products/8170-globalDistribution.htm |
| Description: | The Blackwave 8170 Distribution System is designed to meet and exceed the rigorous cost and performance models required by Content Delivery Network providers. With a base configuration of 96TB of capacity, integrated with streaming performance of up to 40Gb/s, the 8170 Distribution System can be simply and seamlessly integrated into any CDN environment. Because the 8170 Distribution System is completely integrated, it can be deployed by simply rolling it in and connecting three sets of cables: one set of cables for ingest and management, one set for delivery, and one set for power. [This flexibility offers a clear advantage to aggregators that deliver a complex mix of advertising, user-generated content, and professionally produced video entertainment.] |
