Ericsson to introduce Smart Cloud Accelerator solution
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Accelerates operator return on investment via unified caching technology
* Reduces operator operations cost by integrating Akamai caching technology,
initially within SSR 8000 fixed and mobile routing gateways and subsequently
in the RAN infrastructure
* Increases operator CDN reach federating with partner operators and with the
global Akamai Intelligent Platform
As part of the recently announced Network-enabled Cloud concept, Ericsson
(NASDAQ: ERIC) today introduces its Smart Cloud Accelerator solution. This new
solution complements Ericsson's portfolio of content delivery options consisting
of the Mobile Cloud Accelerator (MCA) which allows mobile network operators to
deliver content with an improved end-to-end quality of service, and the Media
Delivery Network (MDN), an operator Content Delivery Network (CDN) optimized for
video delivery.
Rapidly growing demand for over-the-top content continues to drive high usage in
both fixed and mobile networks. In response, operators want to reduce the cost
of transport and increase Internet application responsiveness, thereby
increasing user satisfaction and revenue.
The new operator CDN solution accelerates return on investment via unified
caching technology. It optimizes over-the-top traffic and monetizes cloud
content for operators, adding Akamai capabilities to Ericsson's SSR 8000 family
of routing gateways.
Ericsson will use unified caching technology from Akamai to provide for dynamic
capacity sharing between operators and their CDN customers, as well as over-the-
top Internet traffic.
The solution will allow operators to manage and deliver both their own content
and that provided by third parties. In addition, these new CDN offerings will
enable operators to save on expensive aggregation, core, and peering/transit
costs.
Integration within the operator network policy infrastructure provides fine-
grained control of resource allocation and quality of experience, thereby
enabling operators to provide attractive offerings to a variety of content
providers.
Operators can maximize the use of their CDN investment by initially optimizing
over-the-top traffic and gradually reallocating resources to value-added content
as they build up their customer portfolio
