Sun Java System Content Delivery
Server
The Sun Java System Content Delivery Server is a high-performance software
solution that lets operators manage the complexity of delivering virtually any type
of wireless content over-the-air (OTA) to their subscribers. The Content Delivery
Server separates content aggregation, presentation, and delivery into two distinct
managers, the Catalog Manager and the Vending Manager. With these managers,
operators can centrally manage content, customize multiple subscriber interfaces,
and provide fast downloads.
