New Video Streaming Innovation Delivers
Unmatched Flexibility and Cost Savings for Service Providers and
Broadcasters
SAN
JOSE, Calif., March 13,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT)
today announced a breakthrough in video streaming innovation with
the launch of new origin capabilities. Service providers and
broadcasters can tap into the new origin features through
Harmonic's VOS® family and XOS Advanced Media Processor
to optimize efficiency and flexibility while driving down costs.
The origin advancements will be showcased in the Harmonic booth at
the 2025 NAB Show.
A Hybrid Origin Solution for Service Providers
Harmonic's new origin capabilities combine cloud and on-premises
storage by leveraging VOS360 Media SaaS and VOS Media Software.
This hybrid approach taps into the efficiency and elasticity of the
cloud for less frequently accessed content while using on-premises
storage for fresh video assets. Older content, including nPVR
assets, is automatically moved to cloud storage.
The cloud-native solution is easy to configure, as it utilizes
the same intuitive UI for all media processing capabilities.
Service providers can efficiently scale storage based on demand by
utilizing on-premises infrastructure for fixed workloads and
leveraging cloud scalability for large asset repositories. This
balanced strategy improves flexibility and reduces cloud storage
costs.
Streamlined Playout to Delivery for
Broadcasters
Harmonic is also introducing live and
time-shift origin capabilities within its XOS Advanced Media
Processor. By collapsing the origin functionality into the XOS
Media Processor, Harmonic enables broadcasters to stream live
content directly to CDNs using a single appliance, minimizing
operational complexity and reducing hardware costs. The
plug-and-play solution is ideal for live and time-shift content,
providing users with an easy-to-deploy, cost-effective option.
"We're redefining what's possible with a streaming solution that
combines everything from playout to compression, origin and
delivery," said Gil Rudge, senior
vice president, products and Americas sales, video business at
Harmonic. "Optimizing origin functionality and associated storage
costs is a considerable challenge for service providers and
broadcasters. With our latest innovation, we are enabling customers
to deploy their streaming services efficiently and profitably — an
essential advantage in today's competitive environment."
Harmonic will demonstrate its new origin capabilities at the
2025 NAB Show, April 6-9, in booth
W2821. More information about Harmonic and the company's solutions
