Transmit
_
The Fazzt Digital Delivery System enables publishers of multimedia content to securely and efficiently transmit any type of digital file or stream to multiple endpoints. Fazzt can be used for private networks or mass-market applications. The transmitted files can range in size to the truly gigantic, such as those used for video applications, where file sizes in terabytes are common.
Tools are provided to support many functions useful for Internet-related applications, such as:
- Content-on-demand
- Interactive Internet requests
- Support for Web services
- Delivery/QoS management
- FTP and web site caching
- Upload/download management
- Shared content delivery services
- Preview guides
- Email forwarding
- Authorizations
- Subscriptions
- Acknowledgments
- Confirmations
- … and many more
The network can be one-way or two-way, with or without acknowledgments and across both satellite and terrestrial links. The protocol can be IP multicast or point-to-point, and distribution can be broadcast to the entire network or to a selected subset of receive points. Many different types of channels and subchannels for transmission can be specified, among dozens of configurable parameters.
FAZZT® ENTERPRISE SERVER
The Enterprise Server is the centerpiece of the Fazzt system architecture. It collects content from publishers, sends large files and high-resolution streaming video to multiple sites, and provides unprecedented end-to-end control and security over the entire transmission path. Multi-node configurations are highly scalable and provide full redundancy. KenCast offers the Single Node Enterprise Server, Dual Node Enterprise Server and even Quad Node Enterprise Servers.
- Receives files and streams from content providers
- Can multi-cast or unicast files and streams to clients, publishers and other Fazzt servers
- Works on both satellite and terrestrial networks
- Protects files and streams with Fazzt FEC
- Supports its own and also third-party encryption modes
- Manages schedules, users and bandwidth
- Can be redundantly configured with automatic failover
- Combines and compresses files with its packager
- Targets single or multiple sites, and site groups
- Provides operational and alert notifications (NMS)
The Fazzt Scripting Engine makes it easy to do almost anything else. Scripts are written in a simple format for customer use. For example, it can be used to customize many functions: packaging and unpacking files, automatically executing scripts at receive sites, manipulating files and dialog boxes, controlling Fazzt operations through the organization’s database via ODBC, and generally interacting with other systems. Hundreds of sample scripts are included with the system.
BLAZEBAND®
Blazeband is a technology for dramatically accelerating the point-to-point delivery of very large files over wireline or wireless IP networks. We’ve developed a proprietary form of Accelerated UDP to maximize bandwidth utilization while maintaining high reliability. The result: file transfers are performed several times faster than traditional methods such as FTP or HTTP.
