|
HP completed a Mediaroom training and market-readiness program, enabling them to offer deployment services to new and existing Microsoft Mediaroom IPTV customers, including 20 of the world's leading service providers across four continents. As part of the training and market-readiness program, HP completed training, which ensures that service providers around the world will have various high-quality vendors to assist them with deployments of their Microsoft Mediaroom-powered connected TV service offerings. The expansion of the Microsoft Mediaroom technology ecosystem to include additional systems integrators reflects a growing interest in world-class IPTV services from broadband operators of various sizes and geographic locations.
HP has also demonstrated their commitment to ensuring successful deployments of Microsoft Mediaroom-connected TV services by working with Microsoft to build center of excellence laboratories around the world. These facilities are being established to provide service providers with resources to take their IPTV operations from trial stages to commercial deployment. The Microsoft Mediaroom software is currently available in the Grenoble, Richardson and Shanghai CME Solution Centers where there are trained resources to support customer engagements. As part of the close alignment between CME WW and HP WW Alliance team driving Microsoft Frontline Partnership (FLP), the fully official Mediaroom Software Licenses are being sponsored by the FLP for named release at each of our HP Labs within the CME Solution Centers in each HPCI region. Existing Mediaroom implementations in the Solution Centers are available for IPTV workshops, demos and proof-of-concepts; it provides customers with a facility where they can test and validate their solutions running with the latest HP hardware components (servers and storage). In addition, combined with other CME solutions, the Mediaroom environment provides a way to demonstrate quadplay services (view the flash animation describing the service).
Fourteen service providers are commercially deploying Microsoft Mediaroom-powered services to offer advanced connected TV services to their customers. Microsoft Mediaroom-enabled advanced TV features include DVR Anywhere, which gives consumers the flexibility to watch recorded programs on any TV in their home, instant channel changing, and PC-to-TV photo and music sharing. The Microsoft Mediaroom platform, which reached 1 million subscriber homes in the first quarter of 2008, is now powering connected TV services on more than 2 million TV sets worldwide.
