Media Flow Controller Overview

Environment

Media Flow Controller software can be deployed in any network that uses the TCP/IP protocol.
Media Flow Controller allows you to manage and deploy network bandwidth efficiently,
thereby ensuring the highest quality experience for your end users. Media Flow Controller is
compatible with the other tools, applications, and solutions that constitute your content
management and deployment environment.
•
The Media Flow Controller open architecture enables it to integrate easily into existing
network and storage infrastructures without requiring disruptive changes. Media Flow
Controller supports industry standard storage interfaces and devices.
•
Media Flow Controller supports industry standard video players, including Flash,
QuickTime, SilverLight and Windows Media Player.
•
Media Flow Controller runs on industry standard x86 64-bit server platforms.
Media Flow Controller uses deep media intelligence, identifying and understanding different
content type requirements, to store, distribute, and deliver content based on those
requirements. It creates an hierarchical caching solution that dynamically shifts content
between tiers. Via adaptive bit rate streaming, Media Flow Controller offers comprehensive
support for delivering different bit rates of media depending on variations in the network; both
native adaptive streaming and third-party techniques are supported.
