HELIX PROXY
Helix Proxy is a software solution for reducing bandwidth costs associated with content entering your network by eliminating redundant requests for streaming media.
Helix Proxy is intended for deployment on an intranet, acting as a gateway that services internal RealPlayer requests for streaming media that is hosted on Helix Servers inside or outside of the network. Helix Proxy can also be used by service providers looking for a solution to place at a POP such that they can manage requests for content originating outside their network.
Key Benefits of Helix Proxy
Reduce bandwidth costs By eliminating redundant data transmission between the server and proxy, you require less bandwidth to receive the same amount of content. Lower bandwidth usage translates into savings to your bottom line.
Manage the network Cap inbound and outbound bandwidth, ensuring that mission-critical applications are not adversely affected by streaming activities.
Control content Helix Proxy authenticates every client request at the origin, so control of the content always stays at the origin server.
Security Helix Proxy masks the IP address of your internal users.
Improve end-user playback By caching and splitting content closer to the end-user, Helix Proxy reduces transmission problems that degrade the quality of the playback experience.
New! Centralized management One or more Helix Proxies can now be managed and monitored remotely via a centralized Network Management System via the new SNMP v3 plug-in.
