This research note discusses:
- Delivering video over the IP network.
- Appliance-based and software-based approaches to streaming.
- Potential applications in the enterprise.
Enterprise IT leaders should understand the scope of the applications that a video streaming infrastructure can offer their organization, as well as the associated network implications.
