Cisco VDS delivers an exceptional level of scalability and reliability while giving service providers a distinct
service-velocity advantage in supporting the next generation of personalized entertainment and interactive media.
The Cisco VDS platform combines Cisco CDEs with Cisco Content Delivery Applications (CDAs), software
elements that provide ingest, storage, caching, streaming, and other real-time, scalable, and resilient capabilities.
Cisco CDEs and CDAs can be flexibly configured to support a variety of networked value-added services that
service providers can rapidly deploy to attract and retain subscribers.
Networked Cisco CDEs work together to form a scalable, flexible, and highly available system that allows service
providers to rapidly deploy high-value services such as Video on Demand (VoD), Live Streaming, Time-Shift TV
(TSTV), and cloud DVR (cDVR).
