SOLUTION COMPONENTS

IBM and Fabrix.TV have partnered together to bring a fully integrated and optimized

non-linear unicast television platform. The joint solution is designed to enable cable

providers to easily and dynamically configure throughput and storage based on the

number of subscribers and the average allotted throughput and space. This

lity enables a tiered approach to RS-DVR and its associated revenue points.

oint platform takes advantage of latest advances in clustered storage

ecture; grid computing and video processing technologies delivering high

hput video ingest/playout and processing, high capacity storage, scalability

nergy efficiency packaged in a minimal form factor.
