In this webinar, we will present how diversity of content and popularity of high definition video have enabled an exponential rise in demand for media services delivered by telecommunication and media organizations alike. Subsequently, this opportunity has paved the way for cloud-ready content delivery systems that have evolved to allow users to view videos on demand and across a range of mobile and stationary devices.

Through this evolutionary process, we will provide some industry perspective and consider the business and technology challenges with which this industry is faced. We will offer insight into why open source software-defined technologies offer compelling solutions to these challenges by highlighting key differentiating characteristics and by exploring why these technologies are the natural choice to deliver highly scalable content delivery services in the cloud.

We will briefly discuss the modular design of these technologies and explore how these may be employed in combination to create flexible and unconstrained microservice architectures that can sustain emerging and highly elastic workloads for content delivery. We will conclude by presenting some system architectures that avail of these open source software-defined technologies to deliver video content with an enhanced user experience and an improved quality of service.
