VELOCIX UNIFIED
CACHING
DELIVER ANY CONTENT
FROM ANY SOURCE
STRATEGIC White Paper
The content industry is being reshaped by exponential video traffic growth,
rapid proliferation of connected devices and delivery formats, and surging
consumer demand for video from many different online sources. To stay
competitive, service providers need solutions that can cost effectively deliver
pay TV content and Internet traffic with the superior quality of experience
(QoE) consumers expect.
Increasingly, service providers are addressing these challenges with on-net
CDN and transparent caching solutions. On-net CDNs reduce costs and assure
QoE by bringing content closer to consumers. Transparent caches make it easier
and cheaper to access, cache and deliver content from over-the-top (OTT)
content providers. The challenge for service providers is to find an effective
way to combine all of these capabilities.
This paper presents Alcatel-Lucent’s vision for an evolution that will enable
unified caching to become a vital element of every on-net CDN. Embodied by
Velocix unified caching, this evolution will allow service providers to support
enhanced CDN and transparent caching capabilities using a single, flexible
on-net CDN deployment. This unified approach will help service providers
streamline their processes and deliver any content from any source with
a consistent QoE.
