U.S. Video Server Markets

 
Demand for Corporate Communications Drives Markets

Corporations that were already scaling back travel budgets in response to the economic downturn became even more reluctant to encourage business travel after the events of September 11. In place of travel, many firms are using video server technologies for training and corporate communications. As corporations increasingly realize this technology’s time- and money-saving potential, markets for video servers are expected to show impressive growth. This Frost & Sullivan study analyzes the fast-growing markets for video servers, including Internet, intranet, broadcasting, and cable video server markets. By tracking end-user demand trends and by providing accurate forecasts, this study gives its users a privileged view of potentially burgeoning field.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Regulations Sparks Consumer Investment

"The FCC has mandated that by 2003 all broadcast signals need to be digital," says the author of this study. "Though the actual implementation of this regulation may take a few years, the result will be a tremendous boost for the video server industry as broadcasters strive to convert their archived material for reuse and repurposing."

Yet despite the need for video servers, the rise in server sales to stations will be gradual. "Presently broadcast houses are reluctant to spend money on video server systems because of the heavy infrastructure investment it will require," says the author. This study, which identifies emerging challenges and assesses their impact on the marketplace, will help your company formulate successful strategies for the future.

Scalability and Caching Lead Technology Trends

"Scalability is a major issue for companies looking to use video server products to stream video over the Internet," says the study’s author. "The continuous multiplication of rich content for streaming video has created a need for systems that can be scaled up to manage the flow." A highly scalable video server will allow consumers to add streams by increasing the number of processors on an installed server.

Implementing caching technologies will also be crucial in creating complete solutions. By caching content locally, users will speed up subsequent access to the same video and alleviate overall network congestion. This study monitors technology trends, enabling your firm to optimize research and development and ultimately maximize its return on investment.
