Key features include:
• Delivers up to 2 Gbps of throughput from one server unit, or over 500 concurrent 3-Mbps streams of content
• Over half of a terabyte of built-in storage
• Field-upgradeable for both hardware and software
• Uses an open platform that integrates with any third-party asset management system, middleware, back-office software, storage and STBs
