Red Hat OpenShift Partnership Accelerates Cloud-Native Modernization

Harmonic's VOS Media Software is a comprehensive video platform optimized for the Red Hat OpenShift platform, currently deployed with an industry-leading European service provider. The hybrid streaming solution leverages VOS software to support the entire video workflow. This is architected as containerized microservices that utilize OpenShift's orchestration, advanced security and scaling capabilities. Harmonic's hybrid streaming solution on OpenShift addresses both broadcast and OTT applications on a single unified platform, enabling service providers to quickly launch services including premium live streaming, time-shift TV, network DVR and targeted ad insertion.

Intelligent Asset Movement Orchestration Optimizes Streaming Costs

Harmonic's hybrid streaming solution features intelligent, policy-driven orchestration of video content across hybrid infrastructure. The solution analyzes content access patterns and automatically moves VOD and network PVR assets across storage tiers based on demand, performance requirements and cost-optimization policies. By uniquely combining origin heat analysis with policy-driven asset migration, it enables service providers to simplify operations with centralized visibility, eliminate manual asset management and reduce storage costs.

1. U.S. equities gained over the week, while crypto assets declined, reflecting a divergence in risk appetite. From October 3 to 9, the S&P 500 rose 1.15% and the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.24%, while BTC, ETH, and SOL fell 2.31%, 6.84%, and 7.99%, respectively. The U.S. Dollar Index advanced 0.27%, and although the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declined 3.3 basis points, it remained elevated at 5.244%. High funding costs therefore continued to weigh on risk asset valuations. 2. Weak employment data have not eliminated inflation concerns, while AI and on-chain finance face growing scrutiny over commercial viability. September nonfarm payrolls increased by just 29,000, yet the minutes of the Federal Reserve's September meeting still pointed to the possibility of further rate hikes before year-end. This week's CPI release and major bank earnings will provide important tests of growth and inflation pressures. Revenue recognition and reporting practices in AI, underlying asset rights in RWA, and operating costs for Layer 2 networks are also becoming increasingly important measures of commercial viability. 3. Bitget has completed its phased service restoration, while the Bitget Alliance Program continues to support clients' trading and capital management needs. We completed the planned restoration on October 2 and replenished the Protection Fund to more than $300 million on September 30. According to DefiLlama, assets tracked on the platform rebounded from approximately $5.647 billion on October 1 to $6.223 billion on October 11. This report also outlines VIP level protection, user rewards, and institutional fee incentives to help high-value clients plan their trading activities according to their account type. Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, PUMP, gold, JPM, BAC, and ASML. Key areas of focus this week: The October 14 U.S. CPI release; bank net interest income and credit costs; AI cash flow generation; and post-recovery trends in assets held on Bitget, settlement efficiency, and trading conditions. Market data are current through October 9 or the latest local trading day. Official announcements and promotion terms were reviewed through October 12.
