At the center of the IP/TV architecture is the Cisco IP/TV 3412 Control Server. The Control Server manages clusters of archive and broadcast servers, both locally and remotely, and communicates program information directly to client desktops. Through an easy-to-use, browser-based interface, the Cisco IP/TV 3412 Control Server provides a wide range of video management services, including bandwidth, server, and content management services.The Control Server configures servers in logical groups known as clusters, distributes content to local clusters, balances the load between clusters and servers, and directs users to the closest and least-busy servers. The Control Server uses an integrated database to track all video content - hundreds or thousands of programs - throughout the corporate network. It relays transmission instructions to each server and lets network administrators designate available bandwidth. Administrators can use the ServerWatch feature to instantly monitor server performance remotely by tracking programs that each server is broadcasting. The Control Server also offers point-and-click scheduling and security features.
