BELLEVUE, Wash. and CHANTILLY, Va. -- MidStream Technologies, a leading developer of broadcast quality and highly scalable Video on Demand servers and solutions and Manticom Networks, a leading developer of multi-gigabit, scalable, integrated transport and switching solutions, today announced that they have successfully completed interoperability tests between Manticom’s Scorpion 4104 and Midstream Technologies’ IP2000 Series of Video Servers. MidStream has certified both the switching and transport aspects of Manticom’s integrated solution.Gigabit Ethernet is a transport vehicle that allows cable operators to deliver to subscribers a wide range of on-demand services, including Video on Demand (VOD), Subscription VOD (SVOD), Personal Video Recorder (PVR) and Gaming with dramatically reduced capital expenditures. MidStream’s IP2000 servers are the first hybrid media delivery platform achieving the performance and reliability of a dedicated hardware solution with the flexibility of software. Manticom’s “Bandwidth on Demand” architecture significantly reduces the cost per provisioned subscriber and delivers economies never before realized by MSOs in their delivering of next generation on-demand services.“MidStream is intent on delivering the best-of-breed end-to-end VoD choice to our customers.,” said Ed Huguez, MidStream's president and CEO. “The integration of switching and transport with our series of video servers will significantly reduce the CAPEX required for an MSO to deploy and scale any size VOD network.”“Midstream’s advanced IP2000 platform in combination with Manticom’s dynamic integrated transport solution fundamentally alters the way MSOs deploy VOD solutions,” said Timothy K. Cahall, President and CEO of Manticom Networks.MidStream Technologies Inc.Manticom Networks Inc.
