Blue Coat introduces 'stream-split' in ProxySG product. Blue Coat Systems (BCSI) announced its Blue Coat ProxySG WAN optimization product now fully integrates Optimized Video Delivery, including the capability to 'stream-split' video delivered live with Adobe Flash technology. The stream-split technology allows a single video stream to serve a large number of viewers in each location, enabling video scalability, providing quality viewing and freeing bandwidth on the Wide Area Network for other business critical applications. "Companies want to use more live video internally and also need to contend with video from the Web, but both can undermine networks," said Joe Skorupa, Research VP, Gartner. "Video caching and stream-splitting are two important technologies that help enable the adoption of video in the enterprise while managing its impact on the WAN or Internet gateway."
