International Digital Broadcasting Systems, Inc. (IDBS) is offering a technological breakthrough – a high speed video server which delivers audio-video feeds, accompanied by text, at a throughput that is three to four orders of magnitude beyond anything else currently available… and at a cost to cybercasters, websites, and ISP’s that is significantly under that of similar, less powerful, products on the market.

International Digital Broadcasting Systems, Inc. (IDBS) has significantly outdistanced all of the other systems in use, including those provided by its more established competitors, by developing a video server for the internet and WAN's, which is capable of serving hundreds of millions of images per day. IDBS has proven the strength and capabilities of his unique Afterburner Video Server in over one year of commercial testing. For example, IDBS provides web hosting services for one client, who is currently averaging more than 20 million minutes monthly and serving more than 40 million images per day to videotext customers.

The Afterburner internally capable of maintaining 4,000 simultaneous open sockets and responding to more than 1 million hits per minute. There is nothing on the market today that is on the same scale in terms of magnitude of data output, number of concurrent clients being served, reliability, or economy.

The Afterburner Video Server runs a single process. The Afterburner Servers:

a. reduce CPU consumption;
b. greatly reduce hard drive use;
c. compress log files to reduce hard drive access;
d. prevent theft of bandwidth and server resources by verifying the origin of users; and
e. resist denial of service and hacking attacks.

a. Architectural Comparison Charts

One of the keys to our breakthrough performance is our proprietary systems architecture, as depicted in these charts. For an in-depth explanation, see the White Paper (e., below).

b. Performance Comparison Chart

Other systems claim an ability to handle up to five hundred concurrent vidio fees. This simple bar chart shows the difference between our measured performance, and their theoretical “best”. Our theoretical limit is not a result of the Afterburner Video Server’s design, but of the capacity of today’s 10Mbps ethernets.
