Operational Impact
Since its launch in 2008, Hikari-TV has evolved into an integrated entertainment service centering on video distribution, expanding its functions and services. | |
NTT Plala launched Hikari-TV Dokodemo (Hikari-TV Anywhere) for smartphones and tablets in 2011, and a smart remote control function named Rimokon Purasu (Remote Control Plus) in September 2012. | |
As the Hikari-TV service has expanded, the scope of use of the A10 ADCs have increased. Initially, they were used for load balancing for authentication sequences, content purchasing, and key distribution functions. Now they are also used for load balancing for purchases via shopping services, and for database cache servers and mobile devices. | |
