A server with monster throughput, but a tiny appetite for power. Consolidate your transcoding process, accelerate core functionality and integrate multiple production processes into this high-performance server. The Quadra Video Server – Ampere Edition was built in response to customers requesting a more powerful CPU to do more work on the same machine. This saves money and reduces the technical complexity of needing to spread a complicated video processing function across multiple servers while keeping streams synchronized. By harnessing Ampere’s Cloud Native Processors and industry-leading core counts, and integrating our purpose-built VPUs, we enable broadcasters, video service providers, and hyper-scaled video platforms to do more with less.
