Varnish Software unveils new higher performance CDN solutions at NAB 2023 in LA

Varnish Software, a provider of caching, streaming and content delivery software solutions, will showcase its new suite of content delivery and web acceleration solutions at NAB 2023, from April 15 – 18. These aim to provide faster experiences, support greater traffic and deliver more content with less budget and resources than before.

Demonstrations at Varnish Software’s booth #W3501 will spotlight the company’s latest CDN, caching and edge solutions which have reportedly been optimised, from traffic routing and management to content storage and access. The solutions are designed for broadcasters, media companies and communication service providers (CSPs) who need to increase throughput and efficiency at scale, maximise performance and return on investment (ROI) of existing infrastructure and support new and emerging use cases for next-gen digital experiences.

“Whether you’re delivering video or providing an online service, every millisecond of delay can lead to lost opportunity,” says Adrian Herrera, CMO, Varnish Software. “We solve this by making video delivery and web apps more dynamic, so you can provide faster experiences, support more traffic and deliver more content with less budget and resources. Varnish Enterprise is 100% software-based and integrates seamlessly to extract every bit of value from your infrastructure, whether its legacy equipment or brand-new hardware.”

Technology highlights and demonstrations will include:

● Varnish Enterprise 6, with the new Varnish Controller 5.1, offers a feature-rich web cache and HTTP accelerator, and includes a plethora of greatly expanded features for robust traffic orchestration and load balancing. With new capabilities and a redesigned UI, it ensures a user experience is delivering data-heavy video and web content at scale by always distributing content from the optimal location and cache servers, regardless of scale or network complexity.

● Brand new storage solutions for high-performance caching and persistence to meet the needs of video distribution, CDNs and large-cache use cases. The soon-to-be-announced product enablescustomers to dramatically increase performance and resilience by better managing metadata and more.

● New content delivery performance benchmarks for speed, power and efficiency will be unveiled at NAB. Earlier this year, Varnish Software achieved greater than 1.3 Tbps throughput on a 1120 W single server resulting in 1.17 Gbps per watt using Varnish Enterprise 6. These new standards for TLS-encrypted traffic pave the way for delivering more cost-effective, hardware efficient and environmentally sustainable next-gen digital experiences.

Throughout NAB, Varnish Software will also host a series of presentations and workshops at its booth highlighting new research, technological advancements, and emerging trends and opportunities. These sessions will teach attendees how to:

  • Reduce CDN and Cloud service fees by deploying private content delivery services
  • Futureproof Live Streaming, OTT and VOD investments with software optimised for throughput and energy efficiency
  • Deliver more dynamic experiences to support new use cases, unlock new revenue streams and achieve growth goals
  • Enable faster interactions to streamline workflows, improve productivity, reduce capex and prolong the life of existing infrastructure.
