OCEAN stands for “Open ContEnt Aware Networks” and is a 3-year European Commission funded project, which started in February 2010. Its mission is to design and develop a second-generation open content delivery system that will significantly improve the efficiency of the overall internet distribution mechanism.
“The OCEAN technology is of high interest for broadcasters and content providers as it can bring down internet content delivery costs and foster multi-vendor equipment solutions,” said Andy Beach, Chief Evangelist for SeaWell Networks. “We are pleased to join other industry leaders and share information on how a network-controlled, content-aware, highly scalable and adaptive content delivery technique will dramatically impact broadband delivery.”
The OCEAN system performs content caching in the broadband cabinets and exchanges, thus bringing the media files much closer to the end user than traditional CDNs. This additional caching layer is complementary to the traditional CDNs (such as Akamai, Limelight, Level3) and is interoperable with them.
