Verivue Intelligent Content Distribution (ICD)

Most legacy media delivery solutions today operate as monolithic, server-based products requiring that the full content library be duplicated locally at every site. This model becomes unsustainable as both the content library and subscriber base grow. With rapidly expanding libraries of high quality professional video stretching the limits of these legacy systems, new models for content distribution are needed now.

Overcoming Legacy Limitations

The answer lies in content delivery networks (CDNs) that employ a distributed network of servers in a hierarchical design with Verivue ICD. With this approach, the most popular content is automatically delivered to the network edge in response to actual viewer demand. Positioning content closer to subscribers reduces load on the network backbone and helps optimize streaming performance.

The MDX operates as part of a fully distributed media network—not just as a standalone server. It combines a storage hierarchy with intelligent algorithms that automatically adapt to unpredictable and rapidly changing traffic patterns to deliver long-tail content as easily and cost effectively as the most popular programming. In this way, media networks can be scaled to support an unlimited number of users consuming a vast library of content with minimal investment in network bandwidth.
