Blue Ridge Communications Leverages Concurrent's Solution Suite to Deploy Next-Generation IP VOD Service to its Customers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ATLANTA, May 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concurrent, (NASDAQ:CCUR), a global
leader in storage, protection, transformation, and delivery of visual assets
announced today that Blue Ridge Communications, a cable operator serving more
than 170,000 customers in Pennsylvania, has implemented a suite of innovative
solutions based on Concurrent's flexible and scalable storage, video processing,
and caching products to serve as the backbone of Blue Ridge's next-generation IP
VOD service.
Blue Ridge has implemented a comprehensive solution featuring Concurrent's
Transcode, Origin, Edge Cache, and Aquari(TM) storage products that will enable
it to deliver streaming video content to any device at any time over any
network. Blue Ridge's VOD offerings will allow customers to watch TV on the go
through its Blue Ridge app and Blue Ridge Go service, which delivers content
directly to a PC, iPhone, tablet or other mobile device for free as part of the
customer's subscription.
"In today's ever-connected world, customers are increasingly wanting to view TV
programming wherever they are, on the device of their choosing," said Mark
Masenheimer, Vice President of Operations for Blue Ridge. "Concurrent has
provided us with the leading-edge technology that we needed to have in place to
fulfill the next-generation of programming delivery. We are very pleased that we
were able to get transcoding, origin, storage and caching, all together from one
single partner to ensure that the end-user experience is of the highest
quality."
Concurrent's Origin Server supports a wide range of multi-screen video services
delivered on public and private content delivery networks. Concurrent's Origin
Server supports live, on-demand, and network DVR workloads from a single
platform. Concurrent's Edge Cache servers fulfill stream requests by accessing
content when needed from origin servers or intermediate cache servers that can
be accessed over an IP network. Concurrent's Aquari(TM) storage is software-
defined, which features massive scalability and simultaneous support for
multiple file or object-based workloads. Unlike traditional storage
alternatives, Aquari(TM) can scale performance and capacity independently, which
translates to improved flexibility and a reduced total cost of ownership.
"As a long-time customer of Concurrent, we have worked closely with Blue Ridge
to provide them with the technology they need to deliver content to their
customers," said Clay McCreery, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and
Service at Concurrent. "When it became time to launch a next-generation IP VOD
service, we were able to unify the storage and content delivery so that Blue
Ridge could quickly deploy their new offerings with the quality of experience
their customers demanded in a cost-effective manner they required."
