IP Video Networking and Management

The power of the VBrick Enterprise Media System (VEMS) is in its ability to provide granular video asset management and intelligent video networking. This allows you to easily control who watches what content and from where. VEMS provides you with a video streaming system that allows you to control who can view your content, while also being able to deliver local and geographically dispersed viewers on your network.

Video Networking With Bandwidth Optimization In Mind
Our Encoding appliances employ state-of-the-art IP video networking protocols for delivering IP video with minimal bandwidth utilization. If your network doesn’t support these protocols or you want to stream IP video over your Wide Area Network, then VEMS has the smarts to do it. VEMS intelligently routes users to the best location to receive live and on-demand content, eliminating bandwidth concerns. Combined with VBrick Reflector appliances at the network edge, this creates the most scalable and manageable video networking solution in the industry. One of the most important capabilities of VEMS is its ability to eliminate bandwidth roadblocks with bandwidth optimization. VEMS uses defined zones, allowing organizations to dynamically direct users to the most appropriate zone to receive streaming video – ensuring that users are not pulling multiple video streams over their low bandwidth WAN links.

Smart Content Publishing
VEMS makes it easy to push new content to servers and automatically make it available to specific, groups, or your whole organization through the VEMS Viewing Portal. Simply record or add a new video and VEMS will automatically deliver the new content to all of your VBrick On-demand Video Streaming Servers.

System Administration
VEMS provides an extensive set of administrative controls that provide several levels of management, set-up, and system integration options.  Integrate VEMS into your LDAP or Active Directory servers for easily assigning permissions to specific network users and groups, and with support for single sign-on using VEMS will be seamless. Live channel viewing, on-demand access, scheduling, and publishing, are just a few of the permissions that can be set thanks to the video asset management features provided.

Security and Video Asset Management
Protection of your content is our highest priority our system provides several levels of security including SSL/TLS for secure encrypted access to all end-user pages, and password protection to certain types of content.

Reporting
The VEMS Reporter functionality provides management reports to measure overall and individual system usage. It is a very flexible tool, reporting by date and time, content type, geographic locations, and many other attributes. Administrators can create graphical usage reports that provide a wealth of information on system use.

Redundancy

The system can be deployed in a redundant manner in order to ensure system availability.
