Cisco Digital Media System Deployments for Cisco Digital Signage With Cisco ACNS

Overview

The distributed architecture of Cisco ACNS Software with Cisco Wide Area Application Engine (WAE) hardware is intended to reduce WAN traffic by intercepting requests for Web and video traffic and serving those requests at the network edge from the local cache or file system. This architecture allows for delivery of rich Web content and high-quality digital media files to Cisco Digital Media Players (DMPs) without absorbing valuable WAN bandwidth. This paper discusses these and many other features that make the Cisco Digital Media System and Cisco ACNS critical components of a digital signage solution.
