“We are honored that Streaming Media’s readers have selected Juniper’s Media Flow Controller as this year’s best Over-The-Top Video Solution,” said Manoj Leelanivas, executive vice president and general manager, Junos® Ready Software Business Group, Juniper Networks. “As video consumption continues to migrate toward online and mobile devices, it is increasingly important to develop innovative solutions, like Media Flow Controller, that enable service providers to more cost-effectively deliver this content; while at the same time providing a path to monetizing the delivery.”
