Video-on-Demand Service Relies on Foundry to Reach Over 100 Million Viewers

Tags:
switching

Overview NEO Index has one of the largest subscription bases in Japan. The company wanted to ensure low network latency to prevent any quality degradation in the video delivered to customers' screens and install reliable hardware that will ensure network uptime. The challenge was to create a 10 GbE network with the bandwidth to serve as many as 2,400 video streams simultaneously. After considering 10GbE solutions from various networking vendors, NEO Index chose Foundry Networks. NEO Index built its bandwidth-intensive VoD service using Foundry BigIron 8000 switches for the backbone and FastIron 800 switches for traffic distribution.
