Enterprises, retailers, and service providers can benefit from building a content delivery network (CDN) using Cisco Application and Content Networking (ACNS) Software. Cisco ACNS allows these organizations to deploy a highly scalable, reliable, and manageable digital media delivery network enabling business video applications across a Wide Area Network (WAN). Cisco ACNS has a comprehensive set of streaming media features so high-quality and long-playing videos can be streamed live, multicast, or on-demand resulting in improved content access response time and end-user experience, minimized WAN usage and costs, and increased network scalability and capacity.
Enterprises can optimize video application performance and increase productivity with streaming video for corporate communications and e-learning.
Retail organizations can increase revenue, lower costs, and increase productivity:
- Streaming video for kiosks, digital signage, or video walls used for product promotions
- Web content for product information, company policies, and procedures
Service providers can create new business opportunities, improve the customer experience, and lower costs:
- Streaming media for video and music broadcasts
- Content for entertainment, news, and sports portals
Organizations can run Cisco ACNS Software on a range of high-performing hardware appliances: the Cisco Wide Area Application Engines and the Content Engine Network Module (CE-NM) for Cisco 2600, 2800, 3600, 3700, and 3800 Series routers.
