Edgeware is the technology leader in video delivery from cloud to consumer.

Edgeware's Distributed Video Delivery Networks (D-VDN) strategy allows operators to provide high quality video services to subscribers and offer wholesale services to content providers, providing additional monetisation opportunities.

Edgeware's D-VDN solution allows operators to monetise video services such as VOD, time-shift TV and nPVR, as well as offering wholesale video based CDN services. Edgeware works with leading technology, product and integration partners to provide the complete video delivery systems needed to offer video services across managed and unmanaged networks, reaching any screen, at any time, with any content.

Edgeware is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with a U.S. office in Boxborough, Massachusetts.
Product Description

The Edgeware Distributed Video Delivery Network (D-VDN) is a unified framework for video delivery that provides a simple and highly scalable platform to deliver next generation video services with the highest Quality of Experience (QoE) to any screen, independent of the underlying network infrastructure.

It also creates the opportunity to generate new revenue from existing network infrastructures.

The D-VDN is made up of two main components, closely integrated to form a coherent and integrated architecture: the Orbit hardware and the Convoy VDN.

The Convoy VDN System
The distributed asset propagation, delivery and management system at the heart of the Edgeware D-VDN. Provides the interconnection system between the individual distributed servers that enable them to become a complete video delivery system.

The Orbit hardware platform
The purpose built Orbit hardware meets and exceeds the most stringent requirements for distributed implementation in a carrier or operators network. Available in 3 distinct product sets:

Orbit 3020 - The New Universal Video Server Platform
Combines all available Edgeware functionality, plus updated interface technology, additional memory up to 24TB and a more flexible processor complex, all with the same small 1U form factor and low power consumption (85W peak) as the Orbit-2X.

Orbit-2X/2G - On-Demand IPTV Server
A focused solution providing advanced and highly scalable IPTV services such as Video on Demand (VOD), Time-shift TV and nPVR, primarily to cable and telco operators.

WTV-2X/2G - OTT Video Streaming Server
A focused solution for content providers to offer over the top (OTT) services, and for network owners to offer premium multi screen OTT services, as well as wholesale or retail video CDN services.

  • Orbit 3020 Video Delivery Platform
    If you are a network provider looking to dramatically increase the profitability of your services by offering: * retail video and on-demand TV services to subscribers * wholesale (Content Delivery Networks or CDN) services to content providers * a unique and unsurpassed Quality of Experienc (QoE) to your viewers Then Edgeware´s Orbit 3020 Distributed Video Server platform provides the keystone of your solution. As an integral part of Edgeware’s Distributed Video Delivery Networks (D-VDN) architecture, Edgeware´s Orbit 3020 video server offers advanced capabilities for both retail and wholesale video and TV services across an operator´s network, irrespective of topology and core network bandwidth. The Orbit 3020 is the third generation of a range of video servers purpose designed to build highly distributed delivery architectures, with minimal power consumption, small 1U half rack form factor and integrated Convoy asset propagation, session and fault tolerance management. The servers can equally effectively be used in a centralized environment, dramatically increasing streaming capacity in a data center while reducing costs of power and cooling per stream by up to 90%.
  • The Convoy VDN System
    The Convoy VDN (Video Delivery Network) System provides one of the two main elements to Edgeware´s Distributed Video Delivery Network Architecture. Convoy VDN allows an operator to manage a retail based video delivery network across any network topology, provide advanced video services such as nPVR, and also to offer a wholesale video delivery capability to content providers.
  • HTTP Adaptive Streaming Whitepaper
    This whitepaper provides an overview of the issues that HTTP adaptive bitrate streaming technologies address and describes how they are incorporated with Edgeware WTV servers to create a massively scalable video delivery solution for a full range of Internet connected devices and with the highest possible Quality of Experience (QoE).
  • The Benefits of Purpose Built Super Efficient Video Servers
    When dealing with applications such as web surfing, business data management, email, the prevailing attitude of data center architects of “buy’em cheap, pile’em high, run ‘em hot and throw ‘em out” has been a successful if wasteful mantra. But the demands on the server and network environments placed by network based video distribution are changing all of that. Video challenges every element of the generic PC based server architecture. Edgeware was founded on the principle that there was a better way to address this challenge.
  • Accelerating ROI on a Video Delivery System
    The massive growth in video traffic across the Internet has become an exciting as well as worrying trend for organisations involved in carrying this traffic from content provider to consumer. If you are involved in or are considering launching new on-demand TV or video services whether retail or wholesale, this is both an opportunity and a threat. Download our latest whitepaper Accelerating ROI on a Video Delivery System and learn more about: * the impact of video on peer, core and backhaul network costs * the huge forecasted rise in backhaul costs through to 2018 * why not to focus on backhaul cost management or core node upgrades * how to achieve 45% monthly network cost savings using edge node caching * additional revenue opportunities that edge node caching enables
