Cloud DVR: Management, Storage, Transcoding, and Delivery

Another technology moving to virtualization, Cloud DVR looks to enable the flexibility of a network-based solution for the traditionally local hardware based video recording market. While operators are not completely committed to a full cloud transition, more and more—especially smaller operators—are looking to Cloud DVR as a way to expand their video platform offerings. Support for both legacy STB devices, as well as current and upcoming multiscreen solutions, makes Cloud DVR an attractive possibility, but troubles with content licensing and policy management presents a major challenge for widespread adoption. While the benefits of Cloud DVR have the potential to outweigh the drawbacks, the true power of Cloud DVR comes in full video solutions, combining with CDNs, CMS, and ad insertion platforms.
