Drive Visual Services Innovation
Supermicro, Intel, and Red Hat have partnered to develop a first-in-class services
delivery platform based on industry-leading Supermicro SuperServer® andSuperStorage technologies, 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, and either
CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Using this innovative solution,communications service providers can rapidly add visual services in their networks
to:•Offer emerging visual services like cloud gaming, virtual reality, and volumetricvideo are driving the need for more network capacity, higher bandwidth, andultra-low latency.

•Streamline infrastructure procurement and deployment with a low total cost ofownership (TCO) while ensuring high-quality services for consumers by utilizing
pre-configured and pre-tested offerings.

•Reduce the risk of advanced technology with a proven hardware andsoftware reference design that lets you select exactly the best configuration foryour application, scaling naturally as your needs expand.

Supermicro Solution Overview
The Intel Select Solutions for Visual Cloud Delivery Network (VCDN) consists ofoptimized hardware resources and an open-source software stack residing withina virtualized infrastructure. The solution stack uses the most common andpopular open source CDN caching frameworks such as NGINX, Apache TrafficServer (ATS), and Varnish. It also leverages open source media libraries such as
FFmpeg and Scalable Video Technology for media transcoding. Acceleration isbuilt into the system for key functions such as cryptography, data compression,and transcoding.
The verified Supermicro solution for Service Provider VCDN provides highperformance, well-balanced server systems and flexible configuration options tomeet diverse requirements. The solutions utilize NUMA-balanced I/O for
maximum throughput and consistent latency. They also feature new memoryand storage solution options for improved scalability, reduced latency, and costsavings. Refer to Tables 1 - 3 for configuration details.
