Motorola's Home and Networks Mobility business announced Wednesday that it recently achieved a significant VOD milestone with the shipment of over a million on-demand video streams worldwide. The company, which says that it now has over 180 on-demand deployments across the globe, claims that the achievement is due to its having "the broadest, most flexible line-up of solid-state on-demand servers in the industry" (note: Motorola acquired the solid-state technology that powers its VOD servers via its purchase of Broadbus back in 2006).
Motorola currently offers two VOD servers--the B-1 and the B-3, as well as "intelligent" content management software for optimizing VOD resources. The B-1, which the company claims is the world's most widely deployed solid-state video server, was introduced by Broadbus in 2004, while the B-3 was launched by Motorola itself earlier this year and is billed by the company as a solid-state server that leverages standards-based hardware. According to the company, all its solutions leverage its Adaptive Media Management (AMM) framework for dynamically allocating resources across technologies, servers and the entire on-demand framework. It says that its CPS1000 software uses AMM to distribute content, assign streaming resources, and effectively share content libraries between video servers. "Reaching one million on-demand streams is a significant achievement, demonstrating Motorola's continued success in delivering advanced services and driving new revenues for service providers," Sean Welch, director of on-demand video for the Motorola Home and Networks Mobility business, said in a prepared statement. "The on-demand market is growing increasingly complex, and we are working with our customers every day to optimize their networks for larger content libraries and more advanced video applications. We see a huge role for on-demand offerings moving forward, and we're committed to making the technology a successful growth engine for service providers."
