Cisco Debuts Enterprise Content Delivery System
Video distribution across a large corporate infrastructure can be a challenge for many companies considering the implementation of a video delivery solution. The new Cisco Enterprise Content Delivery System (ECDS) takes aim at these specific challenges and offers IT administrators an important tool for optimizing video distribution across a wide area network (WAN).
One of the biggest issues facing IT personnel in delivering high quality one-way video connections is managing the high amount of bandwidth that is required for a truly seamless experience. The Cisco ECDS offers a combination hardware and software solution, specifically consisting of two network appliances (the Cisco Media Delivery Engine 1100 and the Cisco Media Delivery Engine 3100) and the Cisco Wide Area Application Services virtual blade software. The end result is a distribution system suitable for a wide variety of video needs that’s easy to configure, maintain, and monitor.

Cisco TelePresence Virtual Studio Expands To Mainland China
Cisco has made it a goal to increase the availability of high end TelePresence suites across the world in an effort to improve global communications and open up a new era of connectivity between those in all walks of life. As part of this admirable effort, Cisco recently opened up a new public Cisco TelePresence suite at the JW Marriot at Tomorrow Square in Shanghai, China.
The JW Marriot Hotel Shanghai occupies 60 stories of prime downtown real estate in Shanghai, and provides its guests with five-star service and accommodations. The site was a natural choice for a Cisco TelePresence suite, as the hotel’s central location in one of the country’s most important cities made it an attractive option for Mainland China’s very first Marriot Virtual Meetings studio. The JW Marriot joins seven other Virtual Meeting studios located at other Marriot hotels around the world, each of which offer the same type of public access. In addition to connecting through to these Marriot telepresence hot spots, the Virtual Meeting studio is also capable of interfacing with any other Cisco TelePresence suite, as well as companies using the AT&T Business Exchange system.
