DPI/QoS Announcements: Juniper VXA Media Flow Engine

    

Juniper announced the "availability of Juniper Networks VXA Series Media Flow Engines, a converged content delivery and caching solution that enables service providers, content publishers and content delivery networks (CDN) to deliver rich media content"

See "Juniper Networks Delivers New VXA Media Flow Engines to Improve the Economics and Experience of Rich Content Delivery" - here.

"Juniper's Media Flow Solution enables customers to Reduce transit traffic and lower CapEx and OpEx .. significantly improves the user experience enabling a TV-like viewing experience even as network conditions fluctuate [and] .. allows service providers to introduce many compelling new content-based services.  The foundation of the Media Flow Solution is Juniper Networks Media Flow Controller, a hierarchical caching software appliance that provides an awareness of content requirements, network conditions and storage infrastructure for optimal caching efficiency and performance ..  Media Flow Controller can be deployed on the VXA Series Media Flow Engines or on general purpose x86 servers"

Offering of caching solutions for service providers (as oppose to CDN providers) is expanding quickly, each with its approach to the problem, but all offering the same benefits to the service provider.
