Experience the Vircas streaming quality
Dallas, TX – April 9, 2007 – QUAD, the developer of an innovative Converged Delivery Platform (CDP), the 1SYSTEM™, which pre-integrates the 4 key elements of a service provider platform into a NEBS compliant 15U chassis, today announced that its 1SYSTEM™ has been selected by Vircas, Inc., the developers of the first true end-to-end system for full-screen streaming high definition video (1080p) with 5.1 channel audio - Vircas Media Player (VMP).
Vircas is working with film distributors and video content owners to bring high quality full-screen streaming media to everyone. In order to handle these demanding streaming capabilities, Vircas needed a robust services delivery platform, which it found with the QUAD 1SYSTEM™. A new standard in system architecture combining hardware elements wrapped by an intelligent management software. The 1SYSTEM™ converges the best from blade frames, storage disk arrays, telecom platforms and management in one chassis.
QUAD’s platform delivers high performance at low costs per session. Its technology simplifies bringing complex services online with an architecture that enables access to a virtually unlimited array of content from adjoining or networked storage.
“We designed our first platform using the traditional method and identified a large area of ongoing expense in conjunction with high risk during mass scaling. So we did a thorough review of alternative platforms and we chose QUAD based on its innovative design and unique capabilities to react to load and reassign resources on-the-fly,”
“We are excited that Vircas has selected our 1SYSTEM™ to provide high-quality streaming media to their customers,” said Gary Watts, president at QUAD. “This relationship is a testament to our product innovation and vision to provide the highest speed delivery platform for content and service providers. We look forward to expanding our relationship with Vircas to bring additional applications and services to market.”
