Telefónica, a telco IPTV operator in Spain, has nearly tripled its video subscriber total since December thanks to its cloud
DVR rollout. Telefónica’s early success in Spain is a good indicator of what’s to come in North
America when the benefits of cloud DVR services catch on.
A cloud-based
DVR system offers a range of flexibility and accessibility that consumers can’t
get through the traditional STB-based service. Consumers are able to schedule
recordings from anywhere at any time, and then stream those recordings to
mobile devices or computers without worrying about exceeding storage. They will
also gain access to a variety of content libraries with a recommendation
engine.
Because
cable operators are able to remotely provide software updates to millions of
homes through the cloud, consumers won’t have to deal with purchasing a new STB
with more storage or even upgrading their current one. Alticast offers a cloud
DVR solution that reduces maintenance of disk
storage for operators while making it possible to add features and content as
needed. It’s just a matter of time until the cloud DVR becomes the new standard,
and Alticast has technology to keep up with the times.
