is a based on a multi-client-server architecture that
affords you control over clusters of Optibase media gateways
(MGW 5100 &MGW 1100) and other complementary video
equipment such as video switches from a single management
unit. Complementing the MGW 5100 and MGW 1100 carrier-grade
video streaming platforms, Optibase offers the Cluster
Manager, a sophisticated, yet simple-to-use pure JAVA,
cross-platform management system.The Cluster Manager enables
head-end administrators to adopt a process-oriented approach
when managing their streaming services. This approach

that are running simultaneously, or a specific view of
each device. The Cluster Manager offers comprehensive
redundancy including N+K redundancy - the most sophisticated
and cost-effective method to ensure reliable video streaming
services over broadband networks. The Cluster Manager’s
sophisticated services enable control and monitoring of
daily operations,while providing a cost-effective and
