There was no garbage. Do you deny that DIVA and nCUBE are speaking at Cable99 ? Do you really think CCUR is first to market with residential VOD ?? Do you really think CCUR has delivered more servers products than all others ? Do you really think their products have exceptional reliability ? Perhaps you can provide some backup for your statements as you require all others to do. The facts are almost the complete opposite of your view. 1. DIVA and nCUBE are the featured speakers at the Cable99 VOD session. 2. nCUBE has several residential servers installed (in Europe) and has been through trials in the USA in several sites. DIVA is approaching 12 revenue sites. SEAC has VOD is hotels at a minimum. SUN and SGI have been in trials too and still have active programs. 3. CCUR has never offered a serious server product (100s sold) until the MediaHawk. Prove me wrong. 4. Reliability is still an open question. The other offerings have substantial and obvious approaches to fault tolerance (Hot online power supplies, redundant bussing, 8+1 RAID, Clustered ECC, ect). The Mediahawk is vulnerable here. Another worry is PROVEN FIELD VOD "up-time" .... other's have ACTUAL numbers ...CCUR's is a prediction at this point. 24/7 operation is the Holy Grail of VOD. It took DIVA a while to get there, and SEACs movie server is close. SEAC recently had another product sale (NT based) strictly because of their product's proven reliability. Just because your NT workstation has problems does not NT is unreliable. SEAC has disected NT, with Microsoft's help, and does have a SOLID implementation that they are maintaining, and SEAC's "fixes" are improving Microsofts NT offering as well. How do you think CCUR created a reliable RT UNIX ? ...ANSWER: the same way. Now go take on the day ....
