Juniper Networks and Akamai Technologies Demonstrate Elastic CDN Solution Over Virtualization Platforms - Seite 2

The technology demonstration will feature key attributes designed to address the limitations of statically provisioned video architectures, specifically:

• Scalable caching within the operator network -- Building on virtualization technology, caches are decoupled from dedicated hardware and can be deployed in minutes to meet variable traffic demands. 
• Distributed resource pool -- Caching capacity can be added to existing data center resources throughout the network, or more cost-effectively deployed into new micro data centers closer to the subscriber edge.
• Automated networking -- Network virtualization technology designed to ensure connectivity between disparate caching resources. Through intelligent analytics and network performance monitoring, Quality of Service (QoS) levels are closely tracked to enable a network operator to monitor and improve the end user experience. 

The Elastic CDN solution will be showcased by Juniper and Akamai at the Juniper Networks booth #25 at SDN/OpenFlow World Congress taking place October 14 - 17 in Dusseldorf. For more information, please visit http://www.layer123.com/sdn
