WALLINGFORD, Conn. – June 17, 2008- VBrick Systems, Inc., the leader in streaming and online video systems and solutions, today announced its next generation product architecture and the availability of its newest networked video appliances, the VBrick 7000 and 8000 series. Capable of supporting both standard and high definition video delivery, the new H.264-based video appliances allow organizations to deliver amazing video quality at any given bandwidth.

“Over the last ten years, VBrick has established itself as the leader in the online video space,” said Vince Graziani, CEO of VBrick Systems.  “We pride ourselves in having delivered the most robust, feature-rich and reliable products available. At the same time, we understand that many of the new applications our customers are requesting, most notably high definition, require a fundamentally new architecture.  With our customer’s needs in mind, we redesigned our core set of products to offer high definition, while keeping all of the cutting-edge product qualities that our customers have come to expect from VBrick.” 

The VBrick H.264 appliance is the first in a line of products that will be delivered on VBrick’s new standards-based MicroTCA architecture.  The product line will initially consist of two appliances—standard definition (SD) and High Definition (HD).  Additionally, these products will be available as blades for VBrick’s MicroTCA high density shelf, which will be available in the first quarter of next year.  All versions will provide features such as low delay encoding, multicasting, remote management, and enhanced quality for any given bandwidth.
