NOS Enhances User Experience With Concurrent's MediaScaleX Platform

Duluth, Georgia (ots/PRNewswire) -

Concurrent Technology Inc., a Vecima Company (TSX: VCM), and NOS
have announced an expanded partnership, enabling NOS to continue its
leadership in delivering cutting edge media and entertainment
offerings to all of Portugal. As part of the agreement, NOS will
deploy Concurrent's MediaScaleX(TM) platform, enhancing user
experiences for Cloud DVR and Live TV delivered via IP.

MediaScaleX is a highly scalable and flexible media processing,
storage, and delivery platform deployable in more places and across
more ecosystems than any other vendor in the industry. "Concurrent's
legacy MediaHawk CDN and Aquari(TM) storage products were crucial in
enabling the first generation of NOS's transformative user
experience. We're looking forward to deploying MediaScaleX to deliver
on the next phase of our initiative," says José Pascoal, Service
Platforms Director at NOS.

MediaScaleX // STORAGE(TM), the next generation of Concurrent's
Aquari software defined storage platform, is expanding the
performance and scale of NOS's existing deployment through the
implementation of a flash based rolling buffer for time-shifted TV
services. In addition to this, MediaScaleX // STORAGE continues to
change the game by offering the latest generation hardware platforms
with the ability to mix drive and node types. "Concurrent's media
storage flexibility has been one of the reasons we're so successful
with our Cloud DVR offering," said José Pascoal, Service Platforms
Director at NOS.

MediaScaleX // ORIGIN(TM) continues Concurrent's long history of
award winning innovation in the content packaging space. NOS selected
the Concurrent origin because of their commitment to DASH, CMAF
compliant egress, and live-to-glass latency reduction. Origin and
packaging functionality is the heart of any modern media delivery
platform. These features, combined with the long list of legacy
functionality Concurrent has delivered over the past several years,
are crucial to NOS.

MediaScaleX // CACHE(TM) offers content and service providers the
world's highest density caching solution in a software-based, high
density streaming server with integrated intelligent caching
features. With support for a wide variety of content formats and
streaming protocols, it supports delivery to mobile devices, smart
TVs, as well as classic set-top boxes simultaneously. "As NOS
transforms our services offerings, it's very important to have a
caching solution that supports all of the latest architectures and
devices at very high scale," says José Pascoal, Service Platforms
Director at NOS.

"NOS continues to demonstrate their commitment to industry leading
innovation in the media space. We remain committed to their vision,
and are honored to be their partner now and well into the future,"
said Clay McCreery, Chief Revenue Officer at Concurrent.
