Edgeware announces ioko has recently completed a successful lab trial with the Edgeware Web TV server. This trial was part of ioko's assessment of caching and serving technologies for a range of new web video distribution services.

Edgeware's Web TV Servers cache and deliver up to 32,000 concurrent video streams over the open Internet and can be cost effectively distributed in operator networks or co-location facilities as they require just 1U form factor, max 85W power and virtually no maintenance.

Using hardware acceleration and flash memory for storage enables Edgeware to guarantee predictable video delivery performance that scales far beyond current competition. As part of their evaluation, ioko successfully conducted extensive load testing of the server in their UK labs where performance was found to scale deterministically even across a wide spread of assets.

Edgeware´s Web TV Server is nominated to the "Best Internet TV Technology/Solution" at the 2009 IPTV World Series Awards, and will be showcased at IPTV World Forum in London, March 25-27, in Booth 226.
