Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc. (FFNA), a leading provider of IT-based business solutions, including advanced technology products, and biometric security, and Broadcast International (BCST.OB) jointly announced today the NuVola Private Cloud Platform? Appliance - CodecSys? powered by Fujitsu.

The CodecSys powered by Fujitsu appliance combines Broadcast International's patented multi-codec video transcoding software platform with Fujitsu's legendary server hardware. CodecSys powered by Fujitsu is the industry's most powerful software based transcoder. It is more flexible, more scalable, and delivers a lower cost of ownership than traditional hardware-based, proprietary encoders by embracing the private cloud strategy of NuVola.

"CodecSys powered by Fujitsu Private Cloud Platform appliance will provide a cost-effective alternative for a myriad of emerging industries that can now embrace the power of multi-media," said Vic Herring, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, FFNA. "For many companies and organizations, this can have a transformative effect on how their live and recorded content can be distributed and consumed, be it educational, instructional training, entertainment, news or sports."

CodecSys powered by Fujitsu transcodes both live and file-based video streams and assets. It is easily tuned to deliver higher quality at current bandwidth rates or maintain current quality at much lower bandwidth requirements. Its Services-Oriented-Architecture enables modular components to be easily integrated or extended to other applications or processes, while dynamic codec swapping ensures optimal treatment of each video scene or segment. As well, its workflow orientation integrates seamlessly with video management components across the network and allows users to deliver video streams to multiple devices, with multiple profiles and formats, all from a single ingested video stream.

"CodecSys powered by Fujitsu migrates the process off the back of a local or distributed server network and up to the NuVola Private Cloud Platform layer and allows all aspects of the solution to be purpose built for performance, efficiency and availability," said Steve Jones, Senior Vice President and General Manager, CodecSys Division, Broadcast International. "Operating under these ideal conditions, which leverage the best available computing resources, our multi-media and video streaming solution leaps past legacy performance limitations, whether delivering live or file-based media, by continuously matching the right codec with the requirements of each scene."

The CodecSys powered by Fujitsu appliance, as part of the NuVola Private Cloud Platform solution, will be showcased during the Super Computing 2011 tradeshow, Seattle, WA from November 14-18, Fujitsu Booth #815.
