Fazzt Servers

FAZZT ENTERPRISE SERVER

The Fazzt Enterprise Server software program is typically the central point of a Fazzt system. It attaches to a satellite uplink and/or a terrestrial network. Its role is to collect content from the Publishers (contributors, content providers) and transmit it to the Clients. The Enterprise Server is highly scalable, usually runs on multiple computers (Multi-Node) and provides full redundancy. Its main use is in mission-critical applications to send large files and high resolution streaming video to multiple sites.

The Enterprise Server Software is available in 3 versions:

SINGLE NODE - The Single Node version of the Enterprise Server software program has much of the same capabilities as the multi node version, but is used in a great variety of applications with more moderate collection and delivery requirements.

DUAL NODE - The Dual Node provides redundancy with automatic failover and is typically used in mission-critical applications.

CLUSTER (multi-node) - The Enterprise Server is scalable and can expand the number of Nodes to meet growing traffic in very large applications. The redundancy with automatic failover as the system grows from 3 Nodes and upward is increased with the larger numbers. In a large application, KenCast's Enterprise Server is running on a cluster of 22 nodes at one of the 61 hubs in this application.

The Enterprise Server is also available as an appliance:

KenCast EdgeSpan Server Appliance
FAZZT EDGESPAN EDGE SERVER APPLIANCE
The Fazzt EdgeSpan Edge Server Appliance, is a turnkey appliance with a built-in satellite receiver and most of the standard functionality of a Fazzt server. This store-and-forward EdgeSpan Server acts as an intelligent bridge between satellite and wireless networks, performing Fazzt FEC repairs on incoming Fazzt transmissions and then forwarding them to Fazzt Clients via WiMAX or WiFi. It can operate unattended at the edge of the network, providing a wired and wireless solution, Unicast and Multicast, for “the last mile”.
