Workflow to Stage VoD Assets to DMP Local Storage
You can stage CiscoCast VoD assets directly to a DMP, for local storage on its internal flash memory
card (usb_1) or its external USB drive (usb_2). This technique conserves WAN bandwidth and avoids
latency that might detract from the quality of your Cisco Cast VoD programming. It is useful also if you
do not have any dedicated content delivery solution in place.
