NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Evertz
Technologies (TSX: ET), industry leader in video network
innovation, today announced the launch of Evertz EXE Video Service
Routing Platform. Featuring over 46 Tb/s of switching
capacity (23Tb/s full duplex, supporting 2304 10GE ports or 192
100GE ports) per single chassis, the Evertz EXE is by far
the most powerful modern SDN switching platform.

In the emerging world with total network connectivity,
annual traffic is projected to exceed
1 zettabyte annually by 2017 and video will account
for over 65%(1) of the traffic, therefore it is
natural for the leaders in video to drive innovation.
With over 1700 SDN video switch fabrics
installed and in operation amongst the worlds'
largest sports, movie and prime time content
creators, Evertz has the experience and understands the
performance requirements needed to handle service provider video
traffic today and the vast growth of tomorrow.
Evertz SDVN control allows service providers to
unleash the true potential of their
10GbE /100GbE IP-Ethernet network and now the EXE VSR
Platform, through its intelligent utilization of extreme bandwidth
switching, will allow the service operator to harness the video
tsunami emerging on the horizon.
"Due to the nature of video, a CLEAN SLATE approach for the data
plane must be taken, much as it has for the control plane, as
witnessed by the intense activity in the area of SDN control.
However, independent development of either is not
enough. A merged, cohesive and temporally unified field
of operation is essential. Fundamental operations specific to video
packet signal switching are essential, in addition to
bandwidth, SDN orchestration, multi-level scaling, and
encapsulation techniques for labeled tunnel scale up are vital to
video," said Rakesh Patel CTO of Evertz Technologies
Limited.
At the core of Evertz' SDVN is their expertise and understanding
of the true nature of video in processing, transport and
manipulation, and how and where it differs from IT based transport.
At the physical layer, Evertz SDVN solution is underpinned
by its array of IP Gateway devices
(IPG), High Density Media Gateway (MG) and
IPX/EXE Tb/s 10GbE ported Switch Fabrics and
network attached video transformation platforms.
As global IP traffic continues to grow, increasingly driven by
video, the metro edge and core bandwidth requirements will be
pushed to their limit and not only in the traditional
sense. With video being the most challenging form of data to
transport, with the pressures of low latency, and no time to
retransmit data, the technical challenges placed on core network
infrastructure are an order magnitude more difficult than those of
today.
"The opportunity to innovate is tremendous, and Evertz is
committed to add immense value. We were there at the onset of
the transition to High Definition Television and have
helped shaped the transition and the industry. We expect to
do the same in this space," said Romolo Magarelli President
and CEO of Evertz Technologies Limited.
With the biggest names in video using Evertz SDN solutions
and with over 860 Tb/s of video bandwidth currently
under management across over
500 installations worldwide, Evertz is The
Solution wherever video is Priority 1.
