Challenge
Nagra-OpenTV serves some of the world’s top digital television
providers, securing content delivered to 144 million smartcards and
enabling advanced television services such as electronic program
guides, on-demand video, personal video recording, and advanced
advertising. Millions of subscribers around the globe rely on the
company for their visual entertainment.
Nagra - OpenTV leverages network engineering expertise from its
U.S. headquarters in San Francisco, California to support operations
at its offices worldwide. The highest priority for Network Architect
Andrew Gray is providing customers with a rich, compelling user
interface, and helping ensure that service access is always fast,
reliable, and secure.
Given Nagra - OpenTV’s rapid growth and its lean IT staff, the
company needed a switching environment that would minimize
management and troubleshooting time while providing high
scalability to maximize growth potential. In addition, 24-hour service
availability was a high priority. “We have developer groups in China,
India, and the U.K. working on the same projects all the time, so if
access goes down, our core development work comes to a
standstill,” says Gray. “Our comprehensive Cisco environment helps
drive our success by keeping our teams collaborating without
interruption.”
Solution
Nagra - OpenTV chose to deploy a comprehensive Cisco environment across its internal network, incorporating
