USRM High-Level Architecture
The USRM was designed to meet the scalability, availability, flexibility, and service
velocity demands of future services. It is referred to as "universal" because it can
simultaneously support all of the major headend and client interfaces, plus it can be
flexibly configured to operate in different ways. For example, it can be configured to
operate as an Edge Resource Manager (ERM), a SDV Session Manager (SDVSM), a
Video on Demand Session Manager (VODSM), or an integrated combination of all of
those.
