• Headend and equipment redundancy concepts;
• Open architecture that allows easy system integration and full system management;
• Administration tools enabling solutions to be managed individually and to send status or alerts up the management hierarchy to higher level systems;
• Isolation of problems within a sub system, while solutions switch to backup equipment to keep the service running, reducing the urgency of the situation and allowing time to properly diagnose and repair the problem;
• Interoperability with over 100 solution suppliers (SRM, set-top boxes, middleware solutions, encoders, CAS/DRM…) that simplifies communication and operation between system elements and multiple platforms.

System Modularity
Anevia’s solutions are highly scalable and allow IPTV service providers to expand service infrastructure by addition rather than by replacement. This has two benefits:

• Capital budgets can be scaled to growth in the customer base;
• Geographic distribution is simplified, allowing service expansion within and across national boundaries. This is especially beneficial for video on demand systems where the streaming servers need to be located close to the end users in order to minimize network traffic.

Ease of Use
Although Anevia’s solutions often carry out very advanced and technically complex operations, they are very easy to use. Many of the products are “plug and stream”, making them easy to integrate with other system elements and reducing support and maintenance requirements. Our solutions come with intuitive, user-friendly administration tools that minimize training time and ensure efficient operation.

Cost Optimization
Anevia’s solutions are software-based and can be deployed on any mainstream hardware (IBM, HP, Dell, Supermicro,…). This delivers three main cost benefits:

• Reduces capital investment,
• Allows pay-as-you grow model ,
• Provides configuration flexibility (storage capacity, for example, is independent from streaming capacity).

Service Continuity
Anevia’s solutions have been developed for a redundant architecture and enable continuous operation through software updates and maintenance. They provide “five nines” system availability, ensuring that no single failure stops services and that a complete backup is available for all or any part of the system, in the event of a technical failure.
