ARRIS M3 Media Server™ Family Scalable and Reliable Delivery of Live and On-Demand Content
The ARRIS M3 Media Server product line efficiently and reliably delivers content for advanced, value-added services such as video on-demand (VOD), Time-Shifted TV (TSTV), and network digital video recording (nDVR) services to set-top and consumer electronic devices. Powered by high-performance Linux-based server platforms with solid-state storage for streaming, the M3 Media Server Family provides exceptional performance, reliability and flexibility. The M3 Media Servers are part of the ARRIS Content Delivery Network (CDN) solution and provide content streaming, library storage and network recording capabilities. The M3 Media Servers can be deployed in clusters of rack-mount servers to optimize streaming and storage capacity for both VOD and nDVR services. Key Features The M3 Media Servers uniquely bring the following benefits to video service providers looking to deliver advanced on-demand services to their customers across networks and devices.
