IPTV Broadcasting Cloud Solution

IPTV users have skyrocketed as a result of the proliferation of the Internet in this digital age. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, by the end of June this year, the total number of IPTV users exceeded 300 million for the first time and reached 304 million with a year-on-year increase of 7.9%, marking a milestone in IPTV's development. As IPTV development takes a great leap, the radio and television industry must develop a complete set of digital architectures for IPTV development, and IPTV broadcasting system development is a critical component of that process. To address the demand, H3C, a subsidiary of Unigroup, launched the IPTV broadcasting cloud solution to facilitate the development and popularization of IPTV.

Reconstructing the broadcasting architecture, leading the reconstruction of cloud-based IPTV

With the advent of IPTV, the introduction of enormous amounts of content and the rapid growth of audiences have posed severe challenges to traditional broadcasting systems. The traditional architecture has been increasingly pressured by the service volume and high construction costs. Besides, the traditional broadcasting system cannot efficiently process data of the upper-layer business, nor can it make full use of big data, AI and other methods to facilitate the smart upgrading of broadcasting. In addition, the traditional architecture also lacks effective means to ensure security or simplify O&M.

Based on its outstanding cloud technologies, H3C has built an integrated cloud platform of IaaS and PaaS for the broadcasting system of IPTV. This platform not only provides efficient cloud computing services such as computing resources, storage resources and network resources for current radio and television customers, but also provides a platform where users can develop relevant radio and television applications. Besides, H3C has converged cloud computing, big data, AI and other services in the IPTV broadcasting cloud and provides diverse applications including application services, content management, application management platform, and service management in the SaaS layer, enabling the radio and television industry to improve its business capabilities and reduce operating costs. Underpinned by its active security expertise, H3C has constructed a security system integrating software and hardware to improve the risk defense capability of the cloud platform. In addition, with extensive experience in the O&M of cloud platforms, H3C helps radio and television customers improve their O&M capabilities and reduce the O&M costs through the O&M cloud and other modes.

Convergence and reconstruction to integrate stability and innovation

H3C helps the radio and television industry to manage all kinds of data in a unified manner, and supports operational decision-making through intelligent and high-speed analysis and mining. This efficient architecture integrating cloud computing, big data and AI improves business capabilities, reduces the operating costs of the cloud platform, improves the efficiency of IT resource usage, accelerates the agile development of businesses, and enables innovative businesses to go online quickly. In addition to building a solid innovation platform, H3C has introduced the capabilities of active security and unified O&M into the IPTV broadcasting cloud. Unified effective active security can further improve the defense system and resist network attacks, viruses and other risks. The introduction of smart O&M reduces the O&M investment, improves service availability, and enables continuous development and stable operation of businesses.

Nowadays, as China further implements the national strategy of "integrating telecom, radio and TV, and Internet", IPTV will create new opportunities for rapid development as the representative of audio-visual new media businesses, and will steer the transformation and innovation of radio and television businesses in the future. In this process, as the promoter of digital transformation of the radio and television industry, H3C will utilize its deep understanding of the whole IPTV business process to accelerate the application of digital technologies in IPTV, and propel the smart transformation of the radio and television industry.
