"Revolutionary" nanoCDN or P2P reMarketing?

"Revolutionary" nanoCDN or P2P reMarketing? | Media, Business & Tech | Scoop.it
From www.streamingmedia.com - September 7, 2012 3:48 PM

Broadpeak, a leading provider of content delivery networks (CDN) and video-on-demand (VOD) servers for cable, IPTV, OTT, and hybrid TV operators worldwide, today launched nanoCDN, a revolutionary CDN technology that leverages home networks to dramatically reduce infrastructure investments for operators and enable them to more efficiently deliver high-quality video services to end users. The first application of nanoCDN will be used for live OTT video delivery, with more applications to be supported in the future. Broadpeak will showcase nanoCDN for the first time at IBC2012 in Amsterdam.

 

nanoCDN improves the scalability of live OTT TV content by effectively managing video consumption peaks that are not supported by the network infrastructure. Utilizing nanoCDN, cable and telecom operators can cost-effectively deliver high-quality, live OTT video services to millions of simultaneous viewers using only a few megabits per second from the operator network. nanoCDN can seamlessly be integrated with any existing video headend. Completely transparent to end users, the cost-effective solution does not require a dedicated client and is compatible with any DRM system.

Jacques Le Mancq (CEO) m'a confirmé aujourd'hui qu'il n'y a aucune technologie P2P utilisée dans la version actuelle, c'est bien du multicasting. Je pense que l'avantage principal de cette solution par rapport à du caching traditionnel de flux live est qu'elle nécessite beaucoup moins d'investissement en hardware/management (les X niveaux de caches à setuper et à gérer/scaler) puisque mettant à contribution les gateways. Inversement c'est aussi un désavantage puisqu'il faut upgrader les gateways, ce qui peut être long et laborieux, surtout si plusieurs générations de en sont déployées. Mais le client nanoCDN étant royaltee-free, le jeu de transformer la GW en relai CDN en vaut certainement la chandelle d'un point de vue économique...

Bon et bien mon intuition était fausse :)

Merci pour cette recherche approfondie très intéressante. Donc on retombe sur ce que tu disais au départ uniquement "live", VOD trop compliquée.

Infos complémentaires sur le transparent caching (http://goo.gl/fvRzr) dans les commentaires : le prix des équipements est élevé (il est souvent plus économique d'acheter plus de peering vers L3), et surtout un argument de choc dans le dernier commentaire... "This (transparent caching) doesn't address the last mile which is the real bottleneck for cable, DSL, and wireless (all flavors including satellite) customers."

Will You Rent Your Next Live Encoder?

Will You Rent Your Next Live Encoder? | Media, Business & Tech | Scoop.it
From www.streamingmedia.com - June 3, 2012 5:49 AM

Cloud streaming delivery models such as Microsoft's Windows Media Azure could change the landscape for dedicated encoders.

 

In our recent coverage of the National Association of Broadcasters' show (NAB), we mentioned Windows Azure Media Services as one of several emerging cloud models for scaling up streaming delivery to television-level viewership. The benefit of cloud-based delivery holds potential, yet one part of Azure Media Services was under-reported: live streaming.

 

Why does live streaming in Azure Media Services demand more attention? We think the inclusion of at least one live encoder option is a precursor to a larger trend that will occur within the live encoding space: a move towards one-off rentals of live encoding and away from buying dedicated live encoding resources.

BitTorrent Live: Cheap, Real-Time P2P Video Streaming That Will Kill TV

BitTorrent Live: Cheap, Real-Time P2P Video Streaming That Will Kill TV | Media, Business & Tech | Scoop.it
From techcrunch.com - February 15, 2012 3:51 AM

Television is going the way of the dinosaur, and the deadly comet is called BitTorrent Live. Today, Bram Cohen, the author of the BitTorrent peer-to-peer sharing protocol, demoed his latest creation at the SF MusicTech Summit.

 

BitTorrent Live lets any content owner or publisher stream video to millions of people at good quality and with just a few seconds of latency…for free or cheap. Sports, news events, simulcast TV shows, education, video conferencing, or uncensored war zone broadcasts — this technology will power the future of video.

 

“My goal is to kill off television” Cohen said during the SF MusicTech demo session I hosted. Afterwards he explained to me in rhyme, “Television’s physical infrastructure is inevitably going to go away, but TV as a mode of content consumption is here to stay.” Essentially, people love what they see on television, but want it accessible from the web.

NASA Jet Propulsion Lab Live Video Streaming Architecture on Amazon Web Services

NASA Jet Propulsion Lab Live Video Streaming Architecture on Amazon Web Services | Media, Business & Tech | Scoop.it
From aws.amazon.com - August 21, 2012 1:46 AM

In just a few weeks, NASA/JPL was able to design, build, test, and deploy their web hosting and live video streaming solutions that were built using a variety of services on AWS. NASA/JPL’s live video streaming architecture was developed on a combination of Adobe Flash Media Server, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances running the popular nginx caching tier, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon Route 53 for DNS management, and Amazon CloudFront for content delivery. AWS CloudFormation automates the deployment of live video streaming infrastructure stacks across multiple AWS Availability Zones (AZ) and regions.
