Let the Sun Shine In
Filed in archive Video on Demand on May 13, 2007
Streaming headlong into the video-on-demand server market, Sun Microsystems introduced a large-capacity system that they claim provides the ability to deliver more than 10 times as many streams as some existing VOD architectures.
It is good to see them work very hard to gain headway in a commodity oriented market.
The Sun Streaming System is allegedly able to deliver 160,000 mpeg-2 streams simultaneously at 2 megabits per second each, for a total of 320 gigabits per second of throughput.
That's well past the specs listed by Motorola for its B-1 server, which touts 80 gbps of output per system and a maximum of 20,000 simultaneous MPEG-2 streams, as well as other vendors like SeaChange International, which said its VOD server supports 12,000 in a single cluster.
