ATLANTA, Sept. 01, 2016 -- Concurrent (NASDAQ:CCUR), a global provider of high-performance Linux® and storage solutions, today announced that Vectra, Poland’s second largest cable and telecommunications operator, has deployed Concurrent’s UpShift™ Unified Content Delivery Solution to expand their video-on-demand (VOD) service offering and improve the variety of content available to subscribers instantly, at the touch of a button. Vectra also streamlined their video network, making it easier to add server and storage capacity to support growing demand for their interactive TV services.
UpShift is Concurrent’s licensed CDN solution that enables cable, telecommunications, and Internet service providers to launch premium quality live and on-demand streaming services to any screen, over any network.
“Concurrent’s UpShift CDN enabled us to centralize our content storage, reduce the number of sites that we maintain, and keep streaming at the edge of the network where it is most efficient,” said Bartłomiej Irzyński, CTO at Vectra. “With the new system in place, we can scale our content library more cost effectively and offer more choice to our customers, while at the same time reducing our maintenance expenses.”
Concurrent has supplied streaming solutions to Vectra since the launch of their inaugural VOD service in 2012. With the introduction of Concurrent’s new Unified CDN solution, Vectra has upgraded their existing streaming platform with advanced technology that enables them to support multi-screen services in the future using the same architecture.
“We are excited to extend our relationship with Vectra and deploy our latest Unified CDN technology in support of their video streaming expansion,” said James Brickmeier, CMO and GM of Concurrent’s CDN business. “With our ability to stream content over multiple networks simultaneously, Concurrent provides Vectra with a clear path for migrating their core video services to new viewing devices over time and introducing next-generation services like cloud-based digital video recording.”
