Singapore Telecom Uses Oracle(R) Video Server to Deliver the First Nationwide Video-on-Demand Service-Magix SINGAPORE, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL - news) today announced that Singapore Telecom (SingTel) has successfully deployed Oracle(R) Video Server to deliver the first Video-On-Demand (VOD) entertainment and news service through the first nationwide broadband multimedia program, Magix. Oracle Video Server is an end-to-end software solution that enables customers to store, manage and deliver full-motion, full-screen TV-quality video and high fidelity audio from a server to a client such as a TV set or PC. Magix (http://www.magix.com.sg/) is a premier broadband service on the SingaporeONE network. SingaporeONE is an integral part of the Singapore IT2000 masterplan to transform the nation into an ''Intelligent Island'' where the quality of life is enhanced by the extensive use of information technology. The SingaporeONE network is a national high-capacity network platform that will deliver a potentially unlimited range of broadband multimedia services to homes, workplaces and schools in Singapore. Magix leverages the extensive network infrastructure built by SingaporeONE to deliver a suite of services including Shows, News, Magix ShopStop, Speednet, Interactive Learning, Games, Music and Magix City to its subscribers. ''Oracle has long been the leader in multimedia asset management, and is proud to provide the enabling technology for the first nationwide VOD service,'' said Mark Porter, vice president of the Media Server Division at Oracle. ''Oracle Video Server provides a scalable, mission-critical foundation to help Magix manage and deliver its VOD services to subscribers securely, reliably and economically.'' Enabled by Oracle Video Server, Magix is being made available using high-speed ADSL modems to more than 50,000 SingTel subscribers. The scalability of Oracle Video Server is limited only by the supporting hardware capacity and network infrastructure. Portable across all major industry-platforms, networks and set-up boxes, Oracle Video Server allows SingTel to choose the components that best meet its needs. ''Oracle database, video server, application server and the tracking/billing applications play an important role in providing SingTel the back-end support to ensure high performance, scalability and reliability that the Magix system requires to deliver value-added services in a convenient and economical manner to our customers,'' commented Roland Tan, general manager, Multimedia Services Division, Singapore Telecom.
