Video-on-Demand, Network PVR, StartOver TV and more...Kasenna has the Platform

Kasenna®'s Video Delivery Platform is a robust video streaming software platform designed for large-scale, reliable video-on-demand deployments for Cable MSOs. At the core of this platform is MediaBase XMP™ - Kasenna's flagship video delivery software. MediaBase XMP is the software that turns affordable off-the-shelf Linux/Intel servers into a high performance video streaming and recording platform.

As the subscriber base grows, implementing the Kasenna clustered server architecture provides a clear path for growth while protecting your initial investment. The clustered architecture enables the service provider to grow as the subscriber base grows and preserves customer investment. A multi-format, multi-network and multi-client video server, MediaBase XMP is deployed more widely than any other video server in the industry and provides a cost effective, scalable and reliable way to deliver VOD, network PVR, StartOver TV, Pay-per-view and more.

Hybrid Architectures for Extreme Scalability - Streams and Storage

With the evolution towards true Entertainment-on-Demand, Cable MSOs will be hit with extreme demand for both streaming and storage capability. The challenge will be to satisfy this demand cost-effectively and reliably. Kasenna's flagship MediaBase XMP solves this with its unique clustered architecture of memory-based servers and disk-based servers. Disk-based MediaBase XMP library servers provide an extremely cost effective and high-performance solution for the massive storage requirements associated with PVR, "long-tail," and EOD services.

These servers provide unparalleled ingest capabilities for real-time PVR services while being able to store tens of thousands of hours of content without disappointing your customers. RAM-based MediaBase XMP cache servers augment the library servers with extremely high performance servers that will satisfy the massive streaming demands these services place on the system. These servers are based on solid-state technology and lead the industry in terms of density and streaming performance.

Unmatched Reliability and Flexibility

Orchestrating the system of servers is Kasenna's patented Cluster Manager Technology which enables a suite of hybrid servers to act as a single platform but with unmatched n+1 reliability. Kasenna's clustered architecture also provides the most flexible solution in the industry. Adding streams and storage is as simple as adding another server or storage array. This can all be done while the system is operating with zero downtime.
