A streaming server accelerator reduces response time to media player requests and frees up origin streaming server bandwidth, allowing it to handle requests for less frequently requested, uncached streams much more quickly.
The appliance can accelerate origin streaming servers at remote locations that don't offer high bandwidth connections. The streaming server accelerator can be located close to the Internet backbone, delivering high-speed access to browsers for all cached objects.
An accelerator scales the number of players that can be serviced with a single server.
