The Enclavix™ Media Server Connects Networked Consumers and Digital Content

According to the Yankee Group, "….although consumers are flocking toward Internet technologies and content, few have found a way to manage and consume this content at home."  Consumers want cost effective, standards-based, easy to use solutions for storing, organizing and enjoying their digital media.  Enclavix offers the latest in OEM media server software for the networked home.

Networked Media is the "killer app" for home networking

The research firm, the Yankee Group, has found that the emergence of connected media adapters or media nodes, is “…the killer app home networking stakeholders have been waiting for to drive use of home networks.” 

Digital content in the home is exploding.  More than 1/3 of U.S. households have libraries of audio and images in their homes, 1/2 of Internet households are downloading music, and 7 million households have libraries of feature length Internet movies. A 2003 report from Forrester Research predicts that, within 5 years, 33% of music sales will come from downloads, as proliferating on-demand media overtakes piracy, while various forms of video on-demand will gross $4.2 billion.

"By 2006, 7.31 million media servers will be installed in U.S.  Households"

Consumers are Picking their Digital Platform

At the Yankee Group’s 2003 Connected Consumer Summit, Yankee’s lead analysts highlighted the battle between CE and networking vendors for ownership of the digital media hub. “Right now, consumers are choosing their preferred platform. Device manufacturers must rush to capture the attention of the digital consumer or risk losing their business forever to “the other side” of the home".  The time is now for vendors to deliver compelling, easy to use server based solutions to help consumers manage and consume their digital content.  Enclavix can help!
