P3 Identify emerging network technologies
M1 Describe the potential impact of emerging network technologies
The emerging network technologies are:
Video on Demand
Video on demand is a type of systems where you can choose to watch filmed content like a
movie at any time you would like assuming this content is available on their systems or
website. A good example of this would-be Netflix where you pay a monthly fee to watch
available series and movies whenever you want.
The Impact
The benefits of using video on demand is that has availability such as smartphone and PC
and has cheaper price for example Netflix costs under £10 whereas a Virgin Media Tv
subscription costs over £20 monthly, and a wider variety content. Essentially, its more
convenient and cheaper. Another type of video on demand that is available is server-based
video on demand. In this type of setup, media server such as Windows Media Servers
streams digital audio and video content to clients over the internet or an intranet such as
through Windows Media Player. This can be beneficial to companies to share to their
employees on their computer's tutorials or information, entertainment hosting companies
like Netflix, radio broadcaster's IPTV professionals and more.
Server virtualisation
Server virtualization involves the masking of server resources including the total amount of
physical servers, operating systems, processors from server users. The administrator uses
software to divide one physical server into several isolated virtual environments. In this type
of virtualization, the resources of the server itself are either hidden or masked from users
and it is portable so the admin can transfer it to the cloud.
