The NEOCAST® Edge Server was designed to address specific concerns of large scale network operators: optimized bandwidth usage and WAN/VPN security.
NEOCAST® Edge Servers are typically installed by clients with several players in a single location seeking to optimize their network traffic. When installed, the NEOCAST® Edge Servers request and receive content from the NEOCAST® Media Server. In turn, all associated local NEOCAST® Media Players then request content directly from the NEOCAST® Edge Server over the local area network (LAN).
Locally installed NEOCAST® Edge Servers improve the overall cost-efficiency of the NEOCAST® solution by limiting the amount of broadband usage locally and at the server level. The results are increased security and decreased bandwidth usage. Edge Servers can also be installed behind a customer’s central firewall so that only one device, communicating with all locations, is accessing the hosted server. This is often requested in high security WAN and VPN environments.
Ask your Real Digital Media representative if the NEOCAST® Edge Server makes sense for your network.
