Business Wire, June 25, 2008
MHBOSS[TM] Can Now Support One Million Subscribers Per System
ATLANTA -- Concurrent (Nasdaq: CCUR), a worldwide leader in real-time Linux-based computing technologies, announced today upgrades to its MediaHawk[R] Back Office Software Suite (MHBOSS) which allows for enhanced scalability. The latest version of MHBOSS can now support up to 32 streaming servers, or in excess of one million subscribers.
"Our customers, such as Time Warner, Bright House and J:COM, operate some of the largest cable systems in the world," stated Dan Mondor, Concurrent president and CEO. "MHBOSS was designed to address the needs of these 'megasystems,' which must constantly balance the need to launch advanced interactive television services with maintaining low levels of system down time. With MHBOSS, system operators can now deploy applications like time-shifted television and advanced advertising in a phased manner, without service interruptions."
MHBOSS is highly scalable and can be effortlessly extended to support any number of emerging applications. As more subscribers are added and on-demand utilization rises, the capacity of MHBOSS can be effortlessly increased by adding additional computing and storage modules. Any and all replications of data and load balancing are automatic and can occur when the system is operating at full capacity. Content libraries can be expanded and user generated content can be added without limit.
MHBOSS's open architecture allows for maximum flexibility, supporting interoperability with multiple VOD server vendors using RTSP and NGOD protocols, and numerous software applications through industry standard interfaces like XML and SOAP. It provides web services for reporting, subscription management, billing and any other applications that require information from the back office. The highly modular architecture provides interfaces for a broad spectrum of the industry's most advanced set-top box applications. MHBOSS is also designed for easy integration of OCAP applications.
Combining Concurrent's MediaHawk[R] 4500 video server, and its resilient streaming technology, with MHBOSS's software provides a platform with unmatched reliability and is nearly immune to equipment and environmental failures. Failover and load balancing are inherent and seamless. MHBOSS is also compatible with Concurrent's MediaHawk 4000 line of video servers.
Concurrent will demonstrate the capabilities of MHBOSS in booth 1435 at the upcoming SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Philadelphia, 24 - 27 June 2008.
