Planet eStream enables any organisation to create a central archive of multimedia content which can be readily retrieved and viewed via the local intranet or the World Wide Web. All that the end user requires is a web browser and Windows MediaTM Player running on a suitable platform.

The organisation would typically populate the Planet eStream archive with a combination of existing multimedia content and newly acquired material on an ongoing basis.The Planet eStream 4.5 solution provides the ability to store up to 3,500 hours of video rich content as standard.

The emphasis is on ease of use for both the end users and the content creators via Planet eStream’s intuitive user interface.
