Product Overview
The Cisco
®
Media Delivery Engine 50IVB (MDE 50IVB) is a software-based application of the Cisco Enterprise
Content Delivery System (ECDS) solution deployed on Cisco Services-Ready Engine (SRE) modules for the Cisco
Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2). Cisco ECDS is a media-delivery system that helps
organizations easily scale video and media delivery over their existing WAN infrastructure. The Cisco MDE 50IVB
supports the streaming-engine function of ECDS. The Cisco MDE 50IVB is ideal for small-site deployments that
require up to 200 simultaneous clients for media delivery and up to 100-Mbps total throughput as well as for
deployments at locations with limited rack space. The Cisco MDE 50IVB comes with a base license of 25-Mbps
throughput and up to 100 simultaneous streams. It is supported on Cisco UCS
™
Express environments on Cisco
SRE 900 and SRE 910 blades on Cisco ISR G2 routers.
