Kraken Server
Kraken rack-mountable servers are performance-tuned appliances available with redundant power supplies. Kraken Server supports stream routing and transcoding of IP-based network video and is available in Premium (2x H.265/8x H.264) and Ultra (4x H.265/16x H.264) channel configurations.
- The Premium System provides redundant power supplies, so it can be plugged into redundant power sources, ensuring higher availability. It supports up to either 8x HD H.264/AVC encoding channels or 2x HD H.265/HEVC encoding channels, thereby providing more transcoding channel density, enabling users to transcode more streams and more outputs. It also features a short-depth form factor.
- The Ultra System also provides redundant power supplies. It supports up to either 16x HD H.264/AVC encoding channels or 4x HD H.265/HEVC encoding channels, thereby providing the most transcoding channel density. It is full depth.
The Ultra System also provides redundant Hot Swap Hard drives (RAID 1) and power supplies.
All server appliances are 1RU tall. For more information, see Physical Description (Kraken Server).
