Simulation Tool for VOD Testing


By TED GLANZER

VOD Session Simulator is "the first commercially available product of its kind."

Atlanta-based itaas Inc. announced in a press release Wednesday the launch of its VOD Session Simulator, a video on demand (VOD) system testing solution that gives broadband operators and VOD service providers a simulation tool that enables them to test their VOD environments to identify and troubleshoot glitches in the system prior to deployment.

According to the company statement, the simulator "provides the most effective VOD system testing possible today by simulating the live environment of hundreds of thousands of set-top boxes posing as DSM-CC clients to the Digital Control System/Session Manager to set up and tear down interactive sessions."

The testing simulator also gives service providers the flexibility to select the functions they wish to test.

"Giving our customers the ability to exercise their VOD system with realistic, real world load conditions before actual deployment makes this tool indispensable for broadband operators and VOD service providers," said itaas' CTO Jatin Desai in a prepared statement.

Today's release follows the VOD products provider's announcement last week that it is sponsoring a new, invitation-only conference to support developers who are building applications for Scientific-Atlanta's digital cable platform. The conference is scheduled to take place Oct. 20-21 in Atlanta's Busbee Center.
