Zusa Corporate screensaver – Simple Rollout

Because Zusa runs as a screen saver, it can easily be rolled out as a package update to your corporate SOE. Once installed, Zusa will act as the primary screensaver on the PC and will behave as a normal screensaver with full security you have come to expect from Windows Screensavers.

The cost of deploying a network can be formidable and savings are sometimes possible by using existing network infrastructure. Zusa players can use any network and do not require expensive static IP settings or the opening of firewall ports. This ensures our system can utilize existing customer networks with the minimum of fuss.

If you do deploy your own network, you can rest assured that CampaignManager will work with it, whether it be cellular connectivity, retail internet, WAN, Wireless or satellite.

Our system helps minimize bandwidth usage in a number of ways.

CM NodeServer, which comes for free with the system, allows a single PC in a LAN to act as a kind of proxy server for all the other Zusa players in the local network. So, should the same content be scheduled to multiple units, the CM Node Server ensures that the content is only downloaded once and then distributed to each of the local players.

The Zusa player itself maintains a content library. This ensures that the same content is never downloaded twice as the Zusa player will always use the locally stored file. Zusa player also breaks downloads up into small chunks, so that should a connection fail, the Zusa Player can start downloading from where it was interrupted, rather than attempting to download the entire campaign again.

Our distribution black out feature allows the system to suspend media distribution to take advantage of off-peak traffic tarrifs and to ensure that the system isn’t competing with regular day-time business usage if the players are utilizing an existing business network.
