Cisco - Enabling worldwide seamless video services at massive scale in the cloud

Cable companies worldwide use Cisco’s VSRM (Videoscape Session Resource Manager) application to enable their broadcast, on-demand, and DVR video services for 100+ billion user sessions per year. When VSRM became overly complex to scale, Cisco decided to move the platform to a NoSQL database in the cloud. After assessing numerous databases, including Cassandra and MongoDB™, Cisco chose Couchbase for its strong data consistency, reliable low latency, and consistent 500-microsecond response times at massive scale.
