Whitepaper | Flexible Cloud DVR: Accommodating Infrastructures New and Old

Cloud DVR empowers subscribers to schedule recordings of their choice and to watch those recordings from anywhere utilizing a number of devices (laptops, desktops, mobile phones and tablets).

The Cloud DVR workflow extends the basic DVR workflow, using cloud-based software that ‘virtualizes’ some of the hardware-based processes of the traditional model.

Virtualization of processing and storage functions allow a shift from specialized devices to high-performance generic hardware. When a Cloud DVR system is architected properly, an operator can offer Cloud DVR and can implement additional capabilities, such as Catch Up TV service, using the same infrastructure.
