Vectra Deploys Concurrent's UpShift CDN
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Poland's Second Largest Cable Operator Expands VOD Streaming Services
ATLANTA, Sept. 01, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concurrent (NASDAQ:CCUR), a global
provider of high-performance Linux(®) and storage solutions, today announced
that Vectra, Poland's second largest cable and telecommunications operator, has
deployed Concurrent's UpShift(TM) Unified Content Delivery Solution to expand
their video-on-demand (VOD) service offering and improve the variety of content
available to subscribers instantly, at the touch of a button. Vectra also
streamlined their video network, making it easier to add server and storage
capacity to support growing demand for their interactive TV services.
UpShift is Concurrent's licensed CDN solution that enables cable,
telecommunications, and Internet service providers to launch premium quality
live and on-demand streaming services to any screen, over any network.
"Concurrent's UpShift CDN enabled us to centralize our content storage, reduce
the number of sites that we maintain, and keep streaming at the edge of the
network where it is most efficient," said Bartlomiej Irzynski, CTO at Vectra.
"With the new system in place, we can scale our content library more cost
effectively and offer more choice to our customers, while at the same time
reducing our maintenance expenses."
Concurrent has supplied streaming solutions to Vectra since the launch of their
inaugural VOD service in 2012. With the introduction of Concurrent's new Unified
CDN solution, Vectra has upgraded their existing streaming platform with
advanced technology that enables them to support multi-screen services in the
future using the same architecture.
"We are excited to extend our relationship with Vectra and deploy our latest
Unified CDN technology in support of their video streaming expansion," said
James Brickmeier, CMO and GM of Concurrent's CDN business. "With our ability to
stream content over multiple networks simultaneously, Concurrent provides Vectra
with a clear path for migrating their core video services to new viewing devices
over time and introducing next-generation services like cloud-based digital
video recording."
