Architecture and supported hardware and software

This section details the system architecture for MAS 6.0 for Application Server (AS) 5300 release as well as the supported hardware and software for that platform. For more information, refer to Media Application Server 6.0 for AS 5300 Planning and Engineering (NN44470-200).

System architecture

The MAS platform is a software-based, media processing server. Software on the host server performs all media processing. The MAS architecture permits scalability for all core functions of the platform, including signaling, application execution, content management, and media processing.

Network architecture

The MAS platform can scale from a small, duplex server solution. The system exploits a multiprocess, multithreaded architecture that is designed to take advantage of multiple processor core and hardware platforms. The server achieves scalability across multiple computers by replicating the entire system.

Supported hardware and software

The MAS platform uses commercial operating systems and commercial hardware platforms for all processing.
