MediaKey appliances arrive with Pravaah and Tarang installed, tuned and tested against the workload you bought them for. One supplier for the software and the box it runs on — and one number to call when something needs attention.
Every appliance runs the same software. The difference is how much of it you can push through at once.
A single head end, a regional operator, or a pilot deployment that needs to be real rather than a proof of concept.
The working size for most operators — enough headroom for a full channel line-up plus an on-demand catalogue, with DRM enabled.
High-core configuration for carrier and national deployments, with full multi-DRM and redundancy across paired units.
Software sold on its own leaves the hardest question open: what to run it on, and who to blame when throughput doesn't match the datasheet.
Kernel, network stack and storage configured for the stream count the unit is rated for — measured, not estimated.
Hardware and software from the same vendor. No triage argument between two suppliers while your channels are down.
It arrives configured. Power, network, signal in — rather than a procurement cycle followed by an integration project.
Software updates are validated against the exact hardware you have, not against a generic reference machine.
A rated stream count you can plan against, and a clear upgrade step when you outgrow it.
For operators whose regulator, contracts or data-residency rules mean the signal never leaves the building.

Pravaah and Tarang both run on your own commodity x86-64 Linux servers, or in your cloud account. The appliance is there for operators who would rather not size, procure and tune the hardware themselves.
