Combining the virtual Videoscape and content management components with Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers, Cisco Nexus switches, and Cisco Services gives Globo the ability to manage and deliver dozens of forms of video, media content and metadata from a centralized network architecture to various Globo properties and New Media content partners.
