Intel Corporation unveiled a range of products designed to improve the delivery and quality of entertainment content available in-home via the cloud. Intel solutions are helping content delivery providers make the leap to an all IP world with high-performance, power efficient solutions in the data center, the network and the home.
The new products include the Intel Visual Compute Accelerator for Intel Xeon processor-based servers, the Intel Puma 7 SoC for cable home gateways, and the Intel AnyWAN GRX550 for xDSL and Fiber home gateways. Demonstrations of these solutions and more are on display at Intel's IBC booth in Amsterdam.
The Intel Visual Compute Accelerator (Intel VCA) brings media and graphics capabilities into Intel Xeon processor E5-based servers for low-power, high-density, scalable solutions that address the needs of telecom, streaming media, and SP/CSP for growth, quality delivery and diversified services. Intel VCA can also be paired with the recently announced Intel Media Server Studio 2016 for fast media transcoding. With this solution, content delivery providers can simplify and reduce design and development costs while providing a significant improvement in streaming density1.
The Intel Puma 7 SoC will enable cable operators to deploy true multi-gigabit broadband services with the latest DOCSIS 3.1 technology, thus increasing broadband speeds to up to 5 gigabits per second. Puma 7 is built on Intel's latest 14nm process technology and brings scalable x86 technology architectural innovations to the home gateway market. The platform also supports industry leading 4x4 11ac WiFi solutions, providing fast home networking to enable 4K media distribution.
The new Intel AnyWAN GRX550 network processor enables cutting-edge quality of service, premium user experience, and unparalleled routing and data throughput. The GRX550 can support any kind of WAN technology including DSL, G.fast, Fiber or Gigabit Ethernet. It is also highly optimized to work flawlessly with the Intel XWAY WAV500 11ac Wi-Fi chip, providing gigabit home networking reach and robustness. GRX550 fully offloads Wi-Fi, routing and QoS, and supports advanced features including DPI and analytics.
