CONCURRENT'S SUPERIOR VOD SERVER TECHNOLOGY STRENGTHENS LEADERSHIP POSITION.

Concurrent Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:CCUR) has introduced its new MediaHawk(TM) Model 2000 Video-On-Demand (VOD) Server, offering broadband operators the most reliable and efficient video server available today.

Capitalizing on its over 30 years of experience developing efficient, high-performing, reliable technology solutions for mission-critical applications for the aerospace and defense industries, Concurrent Computer Corporation once again has developed a solution that enables the broadband industry to have the most efficient and reliable solution available. For the VOD market, Concurrent has developed the preeminent MediaHawk Model 2000 Video Server, which outperforms competing video servers by offering industry-leading flexibility, scalability, and functionality.

First shipped in early October, the new MediaHawk Model 2000 Video Server and software are designed to support multiple digital set-top boxes, including Scientific-Atlanta, Motorola, Sony, Pioneer, and Pace set-top box platforms.

The new MediaHawk is designed to operate optimally in both a distributed network architecture, minimizing network transport infrastructure requirements and system costs, and a centralized network architecture, minimizing physical space requirements and incremental facility costs. With this flexibility, Concurrent's MediaHawk Model 2000 can support VOD in the largest broadband systems, featuring an architecture that supports as many interconnected servers as needed. The system is also modular and therefore easily scalable. Customers can scale both video storage and stream capacity in various increments, allowing for significant flexibility and efficiency.

Concurrent's MediaHawk Model 2000 VOD system is a completely integrated end-to-end VOD solution that includes an industry-leading backoffice management system. The MediaHawk Broadband VOD BackOffice BMS - developed in conjunction with partner PRASARA Technologies -- fulfills all of the system operator's VOD system needs, while minimizing requirements for special training and/or additional staff. Designed for the MediaHawk's open application environment, the MediaHawk BackOffice BMS provides tools for automated provisioning, content management, and customer service representative (CSR) interfaces. The billing interface is integrated with the industry's leading billing systems. The order management system also supports the integration of interactive television and e-commerce applications. A relational database system facilitates market and demographic analysis, including customer usage patterns and buy rates.
