The AdvancedTCA streaming media platform suits high-bandwidth subscriber services such as video on demand, IPTV and mobile TV.
Kontron and Enea have developed the AdvancedTCA high-availability streaming media platform.
The AdvancedTCA Gbit and 10Gbit system pre-integrated with the Enea Element middleware platform provides the ideal reference platform for telecommunications equipment manufacturers who want to accelerate the development of content delivery systems for high-bandwidth subscriber services such as video on demand, IPTV and mobile TV.
By adopting a standards-driven, commercial approach, equipment manufacturers will reduce their costs, lower project risk and accelerate their development cycles.
"Kontron's high-performance ATCA open modular platforms, combined with Enea's carrier-grade, high-availability framework, provide best-in-class network supervision, fault management, device management and data management services", said Benoit Robert, Executive Director, Product Management at Kontron.
"Leveraging this proven reference platform results in lower resource requirements and allows equipment manufacturers to focus on driving a sustained competitive advantage".
"Version 2.3 of Element provides a comprehensive framework for building highly available, manageable and upgradeable content delivery devices, driving lower development costs for equipment manufacturers and even lower operating expenses for carriers", said Terry Pearson, Vice President, Element product management at Enea.
Element is the first commercial, high-availability middleware framework to include support for super-cluster-based network systems.
Element is also capable of detecting and configuring blades, tracking revision numbers and monitoring key blade parameters like temperature, voltage, fan speed, power consumption and CPU/memory utilisation.
These capabilities enable maintenance of critical field-replaceable units without taking down the large content aggregation sites or regional distribution installations that are packed with heterogeneous hardware and subject to rapidly changing configurations.
The Kontron open modular platform consists of two AT8020 processor nodes, each with Dual Intel Dual-Core Xeon processors and two AT8902 GbE switches.
Each AT8020 processor node is populated with one AM4500 SATA AdvancedMC module to store video content.
The streaming media reference platform demonstrates that these components can be used to deploy key content delivery services such as live media, stored media, operating support, digital rights management, encoding and central media switching.
