Cable TV Innovator Midco Chooses Concurrent's CDN Platform to Expand Video on Demand Options for 385,000 Midwest Customers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ATLANTA, April 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concurrent (NASDAQ:CCUR), a leader
in high performance software-defined storage and content delivery networks
(CDN), announced today that Sioux Falls-based telecommunications
provider Midco - one of the 20 largest cable television operators in the U.S. -
has launched Concurrent's full suite of CDN products including Storage, Origin
and Edge. Concurrent's CDN Platform is a comprehensive system for ingesting,
hosting, distributing, and streaming video content to any device, any time, over
any network.
Midco serves more than 385,000 subscribers throughout Kansas, Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin and has delivered on-demand movies and TV
shows for nearly a decade. As an early innovator in VOD, Midco has mastered
delivery of content to digital televisions and set-top boxes - and with
Concurrent, Midco not only upgrades services for these traditional devices, it
can add IP-based devices such as PCs, smartphones, and tablets.
The latest version of Concurrent's CDN Solution offers an integrated
architecture built on a stable Linux foundation, and wide range of features and
workloads for live video, VOD, cloud DVR, and more. Concurrent's new redundancy
and scalability features allow it to be deployed with minimal hardware, without
compromising functionality and high availability, for a cost of ownership up to
50 percent lower than even less comprehensive products. Concurrent now boasts
RestartTV, a complete suite of time-shift TV options such as Pause Live TV and
Catch Up TV.
"Concurrent's CDN platform gives us the ability to deliver our popular ON
Demand services more efficiently and affordably over our existing HFC network,
and to expand our capabilities in the future," said Bill Chatwell, Midco's Video
Systems Manager. "With Concurrent we can provide our customers with high-end
options for movies and TV on demand, to any device they choose."
"Midco offers its subscribers a state-of-the-art on-demand service for film and
television, which requires a state-of-the-art infrastructure for the highest
possible user experience and digital quality," said Clay McCreery, Concurrent's
Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Service. "Our CDN solution sets a new
high-water mark in top quality content delivery for all devices, all formats,
all protocols, all set-top and IP Devices, and it's right at home at Midco."
