Cisco has unveiled the Cisco Videoscape  Distribution Suite (VDS), an open platform that delivers video content across multiple screens, multiple protocols, multiple applications and multiple networks. VDS serves as the network distribution engine behind the Videoscape  architecture.

Edwin Paalvast (Senior vice president, Service Provider Group, Cisco EMEAR):  I believe Cisco is the only company who can offer a complete, comprehensive CDN solution today.

Several global service provider customers, including Deutsche Telekom, Telecom Italia, SBB-Telemach, BT and others, are using the Videoscape Distribution Suite, says Cisco. The Cisco Videoscape Distribution Suite builds on the current Cisco content delivery network (CDN) service footprint serving more than 50 global customers, with over 3 million cloud-based time-shifted and live video streams delivered.
