Logan Video Server
Video Processing Unit - Server
Designed as a quickstart solution for high density live video encoding and transcoding, the Logan Video Server comprises ten T408 video transcoders in a 1RU chassis that performs the equivalent work of roughly 10 dedicated servers running a typical open-source FFmpeg and x264 or x265 configuration.
The server delivers the lowest TCO of any solution in the market, and is a drop-in replacement for existing CPU and GPU encoding stacks.
One Codensity G4 ASIC in each T408

Work Flow
This is why Google built a custom chip for YouTube
For everyone else who isn't Google, we did the heavy lifting for you
Google’s ASIC called ‘Argos,’ helps YouTube encode and process videos much more efficiently. Argos chips provide “up to 20-33x improvements in compute efficiency compared to its previous traditional server set up,” according to a Google executive. Another report suggests that Argos replaced over 10 million Intel CPUs in YouTube.
The real cost of live streaming
Cost comparison supporting 100 HD streams, 24/7, across 3 video encoding scenarios, over a three year period.
Companies that converted their software encoding to VPUs realized 75-85% savings in their data center’s OPEX expenses.
