Video servers have rapidly emerged as a critical requisite in new markets powering video applications and enabling organizations to use their video assets for various purposes. The Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) directive to transit to digital version proved to be a shot in the arm, particularly for large-sized video server solutions. The market seems all set to grow as telecom companies are expected to park their investments in the video-on-demand sector. Video server technology is increasingly being adopted by news-stations and television broadcast companies to provide viewers access to streaming videos and other features. The use of streaming video servers by business enterprises for product demonstrations, corporate training, education, corporate communications and video conferencing applications are likely to boost the market.
