Concurrent Technology Unveils MediaScaleX at IBC2018

Duluth, Georgia (ots/PRNewswire) -

New brand and breakthrough innovation unites existing media
delivery and storage solutions as a single content delivery platform

Concurrent Technology Inc. (https://www.concurrent.com/), a Vecima
Company (TSX: VCM), the global leader in media delivery and storage
solutions for content owners, broadcasters and service providers,
announces the launch of MediaScaleX(TM), a next-generation hyperscale
platform suite built from the ground up to rapidly deploy and scale
video across any number of CDNs, regardless of their environment
(i.e. cloud, virtualized, hosted and private network architectures).
Concurrent will debut MediaScaleX on stand 1.D92 at the IBC2018 Show
in Amsterdam from September 14-18, 2018.

With its roots developed over decades of innovation and research,
and built upon Concurrent's globally deployed systems-Aquari(TM)
Storage, Laguna(TM) Cache, Zephyr(TM) Origin Packager, and Zephyr(TM)
Transcode-the MediaScaleX platform is redefining the way content
creators, broadcasters and service providers store, protect,
transform and deliver their content. This next-generation product
line will enable customers to meet today's delivery challenges and
migrate their content offerings to the user experiences of tomorrow.

"Over 20 years ago, Concurrent redefined the way content was
distributed and viewed all over the world, creating new revenue
sources for content owners and service providers, as well as more
access than ever to content for consumers. Today, more than 25 of our
customers, across five continents, have a platform in place to
embrace the rapidly changing environment from content creation to
consumption," said Clay McCreery, Chief Revenue Officer at
Concurrent.

As the global deployment of OTT services scales, so does the cost
of public CDNs. MediaScaleX provides a flexible solution for this
challenge, letting customers take advantage of both public and
private networks for media distribution over the internet.
Concurrent's latest offering features algorithms that choose the most
cost-effective path for every packet, enabling customers to deliver
more content, faster while controlling costs. Available as a whole or
as individual products integrated in new or existing environments,
the MediaScaleX product family delivers:

MediaScaleX // Storage(TM) - the next generation of Concurrent's
Aquari storage platform. MediaScaleX // Storage is a scalable
software-defined application designed to ensure that content
management is as easy as possible. Multiple forms of metadata capture
enable easy search-and-find functionality, and predictive usage
analytics means the storage will always have available capacity ahead
of demand, instead of needing to reorganize content on the fly. It
can be easily deployed on any number of hardware platforms and can
use any combination of spinning disks, SSDs and the latest
non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives.

MediaScaleX // Transcode(TM) - a software platform providing audio
and video content processing. Supporting any input and output,
Transcode allows service providers, broadcasters and content owners
to operate live and file-based workflows over common infrastructure,
at any quality. Its all-CPU approach means customers can deploy the
software on any hardware or cloud, instead of other more restrictive
options available.

MediaScaleX // Origin(TM) - continuing a long history of
award-winning content packaging innovation. Concurrent's origin
solution looks beyond just the HLS delivery environment, allowing
users to also package their OTT programming using DASH and CMAF.
Origin provides support for any delivery ecosystem and integrates
with all the mainstream DRM providers, so it can be easily deployed
into any existing delivery platform.

MediaScaleX // Cache(TM) - offering the world's highest-density,
intelligent caching solution. With support for a wide variety of
content formats and streaming protocols, Cache supports better
simultaneous delivery to mobile devices and smart TVs and set-top
boxes. Like MediaScaleX // Origin, it supports various deployment
scenarios, including Concurrent's award-winning, pre-integrated
hardware appliances, virtualized environments or as software-only on
customers' chosen hardware.

The unveiling of the product launch will be demonstrated to
visitors on Concurrent's stand - 1.D92 - at the IBC2018 Show. The
exhibition will run from September 14-18 at the RAI in Amsterdam.
