Media Flow Controller Overview
The Juniper Networks Media Flow Controller combines video intelligence, storage
organization, multi-tier caching, and network optimization to scale media throughput and
enhance end-user experience in a purpose-built appliance. Media Flow Controller can be
implemented as an end-to-end cache; an edge cache; an origin server; a mid-tier cache; or
used for storage or load balancing optimization; to cache, store, and serve content in one
appliance and is designed to:
•
Facilitate progressive download of Web video.
•
Deliver the highest quality video content that the viewing device/network can support at
that time.
•
Combine media storage optimization, multi-tier caching, and rate-based delivery
mechanisms to deliver large numbers of concurrent media streams at different data rates
with an extremely high aggregate bandwidth.
Media Flow Controller is powered by the Juniper Networks Media Operating System
(NMoS™), a media-intelligent operating system designed to serve large numbers of sessions
and deliver high throughput by optimizing resource utilization and new media technologies.
