A new whitepaper released this week by Intel reveals a collaborative initiative with Varnish Software, Intel, and Supermicro that the companies say will help broadcasters, telcos and CSPs forecast and optimize their content delivery energy consumption.
It reported that the benchmarks achieved up to 1.18 Gbps per watt for live streaming and 0.73 Gbps per watt for video on demand (VOD). This, the companies said, could reduce streaming power requirements by two thirds – paving the way for more sustainable and economical next-gen digital experiences.
The whitepaper includes research into the scalability of content delivery network (CDN) edge node performance and energy efficiency across four different performance levels, and builds on the ongoing collaboration and achievements by Varnish, Intel and Supermicro earlier this year.
