Objective
The aim of the SAMOA project is to develop a new server architecture for multimedia over ATM that can bring low prices and high performance to service providers. By taking full advantage of the ATM networks and removing internal bottlenecks, this architecture offers scalability without degrading performance and will give an important economic advantage. The design of this architecture includes both hardware and software developments to fully demonstrate its benefits for multimedia applications.
The SAMOA server will be compliant to the DAVIC standards and will be validated in the project with a teleshopping pilot application. Beside this application, the SAMOA architecture will have a multi purpose dimension to ensure its use on the European and world market.
The main objectives are:
1. to design a new architecture for multimedia/video servers based on a parallel module architecture using ATM technology performance and reliability;
2. to implement a DAVIC compliant server software;
3. to set up one demonstration platform (with hardware and software integration);
4. to validate this work and to demonstrate the technical and economical interest of such a platform with a teleshopping application which is fully part of the project;
5. to establish the base of the future exploitation of the server within the multimedia/video servers market.
The market of multimedia/video ATM servers is an emerging market and the network infrastructure deployment is just beginning. Today, potential users of ATM are awaiting cost effective solutions and the needs are not matched by the current video servers. These one are still expensive, and all technical and interoperability problems are not solved yet.
SAMOA architecture will enable to build really competitive multimedia/video servers that will target the medium size server segment market (50 to 500 simultaneous multimedia/video access involving MPEG1/2 streams).
