Cable television operator Armstrong has completed an end-to-end video-on-demand architecture upgrade with solutions from SeaChange International. Armstrong’s local operations now are running SeaChange MDS 500 video servers in conjunction with SeaChange Axiom on Demand video back office software, enabling service expansion to 15,000 hours of movies and TV programs on-demand across these markets.

Providing up to 5,000 hours of content, scalable ingest and streaming in a two rack unit chassis, the MDS 500 is designed to meet the ever increasing requirements for VOD long tail content.
