Concurrent's Laguna(TM) Edge Cache Wins NewBay's Best of Show Award

Duluth, Georgia (ots/PRNewswire) -

Laguna(TM) Cache developed by Concurrent Technology Inc., a Vecima
Company (TSX: VCM), is the recipient of NewBay's Best of Show Award,
presented at the 2018 NAB Show by Video Edge. NewBay's Best of Show
Awards are evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts and
are selected based on criteria for innovation, feature set, cost
efficiency and performance in serving the industry. With more than
1,700+ exhibitors, Laguna(TM) Cache beat out the competition because
of its ability to help to reduce the cost of OTT service delivery and
improve the end consumer experience.

As Concurrent looks to reduce bandwidth cost for OTT providers,
its latest innovations in Laguna(TM) Cache, a comprehensive
multi-tiered caching solution for video providers, is helping solve
the answer for over-the-top (OTT) operators looking to deliver
content to an increasing universe of customers without drowning in
bandwidth charges. Laguna(TM) Cache offers content providers the
world's highest density caching solution, which reduces latency and
network utilization to maximize the delivery of OTT and TV Everywhere
(TVE) video services to their customers. "As you grow your OTT
services with more video traffic to larger audiences, your success
comes with an increasing CDN cost that many OTT service providers and
content providers need to manage. Deploying edge cache solutions can
dramatically reduce this cost of CDN distribution" says Clay
McCreery, Chief Revenue Officer at Concurrent.

Caching is a critical component of any robust content delivery
solution. Concurrent's Laguna(TM) Cache is a software-based, high
density streaming server with integrated intelligent caching
features. With support for a wide variety of content formats and
streaming protocols, it supports delivery to mobile devices, smart
TVs, as well as classic set-top boxes simultaneously. In Concurrent's
highly innovative 1 rack unit (RU) configuration, which leverages the
latest generation processors and high reliability 3D V-NAND flash
memory, the Laguna(TM) Cache can ingress up to 50 Gbps, egress 100
Gbps, and cache 50 TB of content. The new 2RU configuration boasts
ingress capacity up to 200 Gbps while egress increases to 400 Gbps,
and cache triples to 150 TB. In either configuration, this level of
capacity per rack unit is unparalleled. For Content Providers
requiring massive scale, a single 2RU cache can now deliver tens of
thousands of video streams to client devices in a fault tolerant,
redundant configuration.
