| Video-on-demand Technology Rollout to Drive U.S. Market for Video Servers
|
|
The success of video-on-demand (VOD) technology has a significant bearing on the
video server market since these systems are mission critical for enabling VOD.
By streaming and storing content, video servers help provide viewers with more
freedom in the choice of content and flexibility in scheduling. With widespread
deployment of VOD applications, added revenue streams are expected, especially
from the Internet and cable segments as entertainment companies and corporate
entities are increasingly using streaming technology on their web
sites.
This Frost & Sullivan research examines the U.S. Video Server
Markets. It offers revenue forecasts by market segments as well as provides
global guidance and covers key drivers and restraints affecting growth of the
market. It also provides strategic recommendations to overcome market
challenges. The report has been segmented into four video server markets -
Internet, intranet, broadcasting, and cable/telco.
Increased Applications
for Video Server Technology across Segments Expands Growth
Television and
news stations have started using video server technology for news broadcasts and
features on their web sites to provide visitors with streaming video. This
technology has been used by VOD to provide consumers with access to libraries of
digital shows, movies, and other media. Subscribers will also be able to view
enriched, near-DVD-quality films over the Internet for a small fee. With
deployment of VOD applications over the Internet, there has been a lot of demand
for sports and niche programming.
Enterprises use video server technology
to create product demonstrations, CEO addresses to investors, and most
importantly, corporate education and training. Video server products can help
effectively target and specify the training and education needs of particular
employees and partners, observes the analyst. The popularity of video
conferencing, corporate communications, and training presents a significant
opportunity to vendors. The hospitality industry also offers prospects for
growth as hotels have begun to provide digital cable service to customers’
rooms.
Prevalence of Digital Media Applications Augments Need for Video
Servers
The Federal Communications Commission mandate to digitize
broadcast signals is one of the prime opportunities for video server vendors,
states the analyst. Compliance with this directive will mean that there will be
a need for video servers in the various verticals that use digital media
applications. However, with declining storage and hardware costs, broadcasters
are stalling their investments in infrastructure because they hope to purchase
video servers at cheaper prices in future.
Video severs are capable of
delivering digital video media in Internet, intranet, broadcasting, and
cable/telecom environments. By leveraging its technologies through strategic
partnerships with allied industries, video server companies will be able to
consolidate their core competencies and thereby, gain market shares. Market
participants’ survival will hinge on the level of functionality, scalability,
and reliability they can provide to their customers, notes the
analyst.
Additional InformationThe following technologies are covered in
this research:
The report has been segmented into four video server
markets - Internet, intranet, broadcasting, and cable/telco.
Internet:
The Internet market is defined as video streaming done by an organization for
mass consumption by consumers outside the organization over the public Internet.
Video server products in the Internet segment are predominantly software
products.
Intranet: The intranet vertical is defined as content dispersed
over a corporation's private internal network for internal consumption such as
over a Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). The content could
be used for corporate communications, corporate education and corporate
training. Video-on-demand (VOD) applications used in the hospitality industry
are largely done over an intranet and are therefore included in this
segment.
Broadcasting: Traditionally the broadcasting vertical has been
split into two sub-segments: Uncompressed and compressed video server systems.
The primary focus of the report for the broadcasting vertical will be on the
compressed video server segment. The main applications for this segment are
broadcast recording, storage, and delivery.
The cable/ telco market: The
cable/ telco market is defined as cable head-ends and telco central offices and
include cable TV and communications providers, excluding the hospitality sector.
The main application for video server technology in this vertical is to enable
digital storage of content and enable video-on-demand (VOD) applications.
