The Oracle media server for nCUBE massively parallel systems

Information users today are hampered by inadequate access to the information they want and need broadcast and cable TV offer inflexible scheduling, while dial-up services are still fairly primitive, offering poor visual quality and arcane user interfaces. Videotape rental is time consuming and frustrating, and on-line shopping is in its infancy. The network infrastructure now exists to deliver vastly improved versions of these services. What has been lacking is a server system sophisticated enough to cost effectively pump information to the delivery networks. Together, Oracle and nCUBE provide a high-performance, cost-effective solution that enables information providers and users to realize the benefits of interactive multimedia services.<
