The world is moving towards an “On-Demand” model. The providers of
content, information and communications are eager to deliver a myriad of
media services to end-users. Google wants to provide better searches,
MapQuest wants to put a map on every device, OnStar wants to be “the
push button” resource for drivers, and Verizon wants to stream music,
video and television to every phone, home and office. As consumers, we
have come to expect our media and communication needs to be met,
instantly, consistently and reliably. Going forward, the request of our “On-
Demand” culture will only accelerate and drive the need for increased
reliability, lower costs and improved performance in the delivery of vital
data, content and associated services.
Why the push for more? High Definition (HD) formats for video and radio,
larger capacity files, more precise maps and GPS services will each require
greater bandwidth, reliability and consistency. This case study looks at
how one “On-Demand” leader in infrastructure solutions is preparing to
improve the current generation of services and seamlessly prepare content
providers for the future. |
