Broadband access network providers are moving from dedicated, single-service edge resources to a multi-service architecture that makes more efficient use of bandwidth and related network resources.

Camiant's Universal Edge Resource Manager (UERM) employs a control plane presence that manages the sharing of edge resources among multiple services including Video on Demand (VOD) and Switched Digital Video (SDV). By taking into account factors such as disparate time-of-day usage of certain services, coupled with probability distribution of customer demand for various services, Camiant's Universal Edge Resource Manager maintains a stateful view of network edge resources and dynamically allocates resources based on the business rules to attain maximum bandwidth efficiency. Its standard-based architecture enables seamless integration of new services and edge devices.
