1 ARRIS M3 Media Server Family Scalable and Reliable Delivery of Live and On-Demand Content The ARRIS M3 Media Server product line efficiently and reliably delivers content for advanced, value-added services such as video on-demand (VOD), Time-Shifted TV (TSTV), and network digital video recording (ndvr) services to set-top and consumer electronic devices. Powered by high-performance Linux-based server platforms with solid-state storage for streaming, the M3 Media Server Family provides exceptional performance, reliability and flexibility. The M3 Media Servers are part of the ARRIS Content Delivery Network (CDN) solution and provide content streaming, library storage and network recording capabilities. The M3 Media Servers can be deployed in clusters of rack-mount servers to optimize streaming and storage capacity for both VOD and ndvr services. Key Features The M3 Media Servers uniquely bring the following benefits to video service providers looking to deliver advanced on-demand services to their customers across networks and devices. High Performance Utilizes enterprise-class high performance rack mounted servers High-density performance with solid-state technology for streaming Leverages adaptive content management to optimize network, streaming and storage resources Simultaneous Ingest and Streaming in support of TSTV and ndvr services

2 Scalability Seamlessly scales from low-density edge streaming to large centralized high-density deployments Supports intelligent edge caching to enable virtually unlimited content libraries Independently grow streaming or and/or ingest/recording capacity by adding servers to M3 clusters Broad range of server platforms to support wide range of ingest/recording and streaming requirements Efficiency Adaptive Media intelligently positions content and assigns streams to optimize streaming, storage and network resources Aggregates the cache of a cluster of servers for VOD services Leverages a single platform for delivery across all devices and networks Scales streaming and storage independently to lower CapEx Supports on the fly trick modes without the need for separate trick files that can consume up to 30% of the content library Flexibility Supports VOD and ndvr video services from the same platforms Designed for advanced services such as Time-Shifted TV and On Demand Advertising Integrates with leading cable back office and IPTV middleware solutions Ingest and streaming of fixed rate and multi-bit rate (MBR) content in support of legacy set-tops and advanced consumer electronics devices Supports pre-, post- and mid-roll ad insertion (ranged playlists) Multi-speed trick modes with restrictions by playlist element M3 Clusters can ingest, cache and stream content from anywhere in the CDN network Reliability Fault-resistant, carrier-class platforms with redundant power, fans, network interfaces and other components Redundant content storage with automatic replication across servers and geographic redundancy across clusters Solid-state flash technology and RAID protects against drive failure and maintains content in case of power loss Robust remote management capabilities

3 The ARRIS M3 Media Server Family is comprised of the S100, S200, S400, and S410 platforms, which can be configured to meet virtually any networking topology for streaming, storage or recording requirements.
