STRATACACHE introduces ActiVia for Media IPTV edition

November 19, 2007 – STRATACACHE has announced the debut of its new ActiVia for Media IPTV edition, providing management and content tools for IP-based TV systems.

The solution is capable of scheduling, managing and controlling large enterprise IPTV networks of up to 100,000 concurrent devices, including set-top boxes (STBs) and multipurpose PCs and servers used as IPTV stations.  STRATACACHE reports that the solution enables companies to control up to 100 independent enterprise live video channels and an unlimited number of Video on Demand (VOD) channels.

“This solution is ideal for large enterprises converting from bandwidth inefficient, legacy BTV technology that are seeking to move their video platform to the more efficient, flexible and powerful IP world,” said Chris Riegel, CEO of STRATACACHE.

ActiVia for Meda IPTV edition works in satellite, WAN and wireless environments, and leverages STRATACACHE’s OmniCast content delivery engine to offer multicast delivery.  STRATACACHE reports that the solution was recently deployed in partnership with Verizon to a “leading” US retailer servicing over 2,600 sites.
