Portugal's NOS Deploys Aquari Storage for Cloud DVR
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Software-Defined Storage Solution Enables Personalized TV on Internet Connected
Devices
ATLANTA, Sept. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concurrent (NASDAQ:CCUR), a global
provider of high-performance Linux® and storage solutions, today announced that
NOS, Portugal's market-leading communications and entertainment company, has
deployed Concurrent's Aquari(TM) software-defined storage solution to enable
cloud-based digital video recording (CDVR) services related to their new UMA
personalized TV service. UMA is the latest multi-screen video service offering
from NOS, which features intelligent voice controls, personalized
recommendations, consumer-driven video recording of broadcast programs, and
cross-device video streaming to televisions and Internet connected devices. The
new service pairs Aquari's scale-out storage capabilities with Concurrent's
Upshift(TM) content delivery solution to support high-capacity video recording
and streaming. Concurrent's solution is fully integrated with software developed
by NOS to support business management, content management, and visually-rich
consumer-facing user interfaces.
"We needed a better, more cost-effective storage platform to support multi-
screen video content and the advanced scaling capabilities of the Aquari
platform were ideally suited to our application," said Pedro Bandeira, Product
Development Director at NOS. "We have developed a best-in-class business
intelligence layer on top of Aquari's storage in order to deliver the most
advanced entertainment experience to our customers."
"We are thrilled to work with a thought leader like NOS that recognizes the
benefits of our open, software-defined storage solution for scaling-out next
generation video services," said Scott Ryan, SVP and GM of Concurrent's Aquari
storage business. "Aquari's unique capabilities are perfect for applications
like cloud DVR, where both high-performance and high-capacity are required to
support the explosive demand for time-shifted video content."
Aquari storage is based on open-source Ceph®, which features exabyte scaling and
simultaneous support for multiple workloads. Unlike traditional storage
alternatives, Aquari can scale performance and capacity independently, which
translates to improved flexibility and a reduced total cost of ownership. Six of
the top 25 multiple system operators in North America and several market leading
operators in Europe now use the Aquari platform to support multi-screen
streaming and video recording services.
The Aquari solution at NOS was sold through Satcab, Concurrent's trusted partner
and a leading system integrator of professional broadcast solutions and services
for the Iberian Peninsula and Africa.
Concurrent will be showcasing the Aquari storage solution at the IBC show in
Amsterdam on September 9-13 at the RAI Convention Centre, stand 2.B31.
