Innovation and partnerships tackle many various types. Some are static, whereas others are dynamic, rising and fostering innovation to driving industries ahead. Cisco’s partnership with Intel is definitely the latter, and for that motive (and plenty of others) I’m actually trying ahead to showcasing the thrilling know-how innovation we’re driving in connectivity, interoperability, efficiency and latency on the Nationwide Affiliation of Broadcasters present in Las Vegas this 12 months.
Cisco and Intel have been working collectively to remodel storage, compute, and community switching to revolutionize the business alongside our incredible ecosystem of companions.
Let me share a number of of the cool issues we’re partnering with Intel to perform.
Upgrades to Cisco IP Cloth for Media
Cisco IP Cloth for Media, that includes Intel know-how, has been confirmed to supply new methods to handle workloads, workflows, and content material administration (assembly ST 2110 requirements), with over 100 energetic deployments to-date. This 12 months we’re showcasing additional modernization of IP Cloth for Media with options for Non-Blocking Multicast (NBM), NAT, and PFM-SD. Added software program innovation options present end-to-end, multicast, dwell site visitors visibility, simplified and versatile deployment at scale, improvements in NBM energetic, in addition to RTP movement monitoring. Cisco IP Cloth for Media may also now embody 400G and 800G switches.
Intel Media Transport Library
Cisco and Intel are working collectively to proceed to drive the media business ahead with IP video know-how. The Intel Media Transport Library facilitates ST 2110 community site visitors for video manufacturing software program functions that run on Cisco servers (powered by Intel Xeon processors) utilizing Intel Community Interface Playing cards (NIC). The library effectively transfers ST 2110 media and knowledge between the CPU and a foundational NIC, enabling ST 2110 classes to keep up constant, simultaneous excessive throughput with out interruption.
Delivering Superior Experiences on the Edge
Cisco and Qwilt have been collaborating carefully over the previous couple of years, combining strengths to revolutionize content material supply utilizing Qwilt’s Open Edge platform primarily based on Open Caching, with Cisco’s best-in-class infrastructure, together with Nexus & UCS that includes Intel know-how. The Open Edge platform brings quick worth, providing unmatched high quality, site visitors optimization, monetization, and a basis for future use instances enabled by the provider edge. The businesses’ shared edge infrastructure platform continues to assemble momentum with over 175 content material publishers and repair suppliers utilizing the answer to-date.
Intel Knowledge Stream Acceleration (DSA) for Excessive-Bandwidth Content material
Ever-increasing decision and better bit charges from high-bandwidth content material, similar to dwell video manufacturing, video streaming in 4K and 8K, and the rise of immersive content material experiences like AR/VR and 360-degree video, proceed to drive the necessity for a variety of latest connectivity requirements, particularly for VoIP. The infrastructure that helps these experiences should meet rising necessities and proceed to help glorious person experiences. Intel’s innovation round Knowledge Stream Acceleration (DSA) is a high-performance knowledge copy and transformation accelerator that’s native with 4th gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, utilized in Cisco UCS and Nexus. This know-how optimizes streaming knowledge motion and transformation operations widespread with high-performance storage, networking, persistent reminiscence, and varied knowledge processing functions. For content material suppliers trying to seize extra optimization, this resolution can unlock a bunch of latest capabilities.
FPGA for Dwell Video Manufacturing Workflows
IP media know-how is all about networks, servers, storage, and functions. Dwell IP video manufacturing has launched new community designs and topologies to satisfy the mission important necessities of dwell media transport over a community. Cisco has teamed with Intel on its FPGA for Dwell Video Manufacturing Workflows know-how, offering a reference {hardware} platform to allow prospects to develop, tune, and optimize particular workloads on Cisco {hardware} earlier than going to full manufacturing. For organizations trying to make production-quality playing cards however wish to optimize their IP earlier than committing to a closing design, this collaborative effort from Cisco and Intel offers new alternatives to streamline growth and encourage creativity.
We’re proud and excited of all of the arduous work we’ve achieved with glorious companions, like Intel, to assist our prospects get essentially the most out of their networks and know-how funding to supply the experiences which are shifting the business ahead.
To see these applied sciences in motion, come go to us April 15-19 at NAB Present in Las Vegas. The Intel and Cisco sales space is within the West Corridor of the Las Vegas Conference Middle, Sales space #W3742.
Sit up for seeing you there!
