Kasenna, HP and Intel successfully complete 1mn subscriber benchmark test
May 20, 2008 - Middleware specialist Kasenna has teamed with Intel and HP to undertake a benchmark test for an IPTV/VOD infrastructure developed by the three companies, successfully scaling the solution to 1mn subscribers.
The IPTV infrastructure test-bed consisted of Kasenna's LivingRoom middleware platform and MediaBase video server software, and HP ProLiant servers powered by Intel Dual-Core Xeon processors. Kasenna’s LivingRoom IPTV middleware platform provides scalable service delivery using portal-based Web services, while the Kasenna MediaBase video content streaming, distribution, and delivery platform provides scalable on-demand video delivery from disk- and RAM-based servers.
“For service providers struggling with IPTV roll-outs due to the poor scalability of their first-generation, pre-compiled application-based middleware and second-generation proprietary client/server middleware, this historic HP-Kasenna-Intel one-million-subscriber test using Kasenna’s third-generation platform based on open, web-services-based Service Oriented Architecture is a harbinger of an IPTV infrastructure that scales gracefully from hundreds to over one million subscribers,” said Kumar Shah, CEO of Kasenna. “Together with HP and Intel, I want to invite carriers and service providers to witness this test and leverage the results of our rigorous and comprehensive testing efforts to deploy a proven, scalable and resilient IPTV infrastructure.”
The test was conducted in a simulated access network environment at the HP Communications, Media and Entertainment Solution Center in Grenoble, France.
