Verivue MDX 9200

The MDX 9200 Media Distribution Switch offers up a new class of networking product designed to provide cost effective scalability of content distribution for multi-screen delivery. Leveraging the capabilities of IP networks, the MDX allows service providers complete flexibility to ingest, store and deliver their expanding content libraries to consumers — whether that's to PC's, set-tops, mobile devices or broadband enabled consumer electronic devices.

The MDX 9200 is a carrier class Ethernet switch with integrated storage and delivery capabilities. It provides network operators with a network element capable of caching and intelligently distributing content throughout a network while featuring delivery capacity to both broadband and traditional video-on-demand devices. Its purpose built design allows for cost-effectively scaling of content delivery in a network switch designed for non-stop operations, low-power utilization and a compact footprint.

Providing a feature rich set of capabilities, the MDX 9200 is the platform service providers can build a profitable business around. The MDX 9200 provides:

• HTTP and VOD/UDP streaming and delivery protocol support, providing Seamless Multi-Screen Convergence.
• Reduced operational overhead by transparently managing the complexities and tradeoffs between network transport capacity and edge caching storage through Verivue's Intelligent Content Distribution.
• A patent-pending integrated solid-state storage sub-system, VueStor, which provides unparalleled content delivery and ingest bandwidth, in a network switch. A dramatic improvement over the capabilities of existing solid-state storage drives (SSDs).
• The Green Design Advantage which lowers power usage and rack space versus existing delivery solutions. This allows for content and bandwidth scale without escalating operational cost.

Designed around a blade-based architecture, MDX 9200 provides operators with cost effective scaling of either bandwidth or storage capabilities within a 14-RU platform. This includes:

• 20 Gb/s to 200 Gb/s of streaming and delivery capacity
• 2 to 48 TB of Flash memory storage
• Simultaneous HTTP delivery and VOD streaming
• Up to 9.6 Gb/s of independent ingest capacity with no impact on streaming
• Hot-swappable architecture - upgrade, add or replace modules with no down-time.
• In-Service Software Upgrades and 99.999% uptime
• Integrated Firewall Capabilities
• Independent scaling of control plane and delivery
• Web, SNMP, NETCONF and CLI for flexible management and monitoring

The MDX 9200 renders existing on-demand solutions obsolete. It provides a scalable, feature-rich platform that far exceeds the capabilities of PC based design. Yet its modular design is based around industry standard components, quickly tracking price/performance semiconductor improvements over time. The MDX also provides significant benefits by lowering the TCO for on-demand delivery services by eliminating the need to support dozens of switches, load-balancers and firewalls and their associated overhead.

The Verivue MDX 9200 is all about providing the infrastructure capacity and capabilities to serve the emerging growth of on-demand content delivery. Building upon a high-availability video service switch, the MDX 9200 ensures an operator has the ability to easily grow into their future video delivery needs. By addressing the requirements of bandwidth requirements, content libraries expansion and multi-platform video delivery, the MDX 9200 provides the flexible path for multi-dimensional service business growth.
