Flexible in-home caching for video streaming services

夜班可以在使用流媒体服务时优化客户的带宽使用。它通过利用非高峰带宽可用性缓存数字媒体内容来解决带宽有限(影响实时流)和带宽配额(可能导致带宽节流或超额收费)的问题来实现这一点。缓存是通过本地安装的网络存储设备完成的，该设备保留了数字版权管理(DRM)功能，同时仍然创建与实时流没有区别的内容观看体验，即作为夜班客户，要查看例如Netflix内容，您打开Netflix，所请求的内容对最终用户透明地从本地缓存访问。

NightShift optimizes customers' bandwidth usage when using streaming services. It does this by taking advantage of off-peak bandwidth availability to cache digital media content addressing both problems of limited bandwidth (which impacts real-time streaming) and bandwidth quotas (which can result in bandwidth throttling or overage charges). Caching is done via a locally installed network storage device that preserves digital rights management (DRM) features while still creating a content viewing experience indistinguishable from live streaming, i.e. as a NightShift customer, to view, for example, Netflix content, you open Netflix and requested content is accessed from the local cache transparently to the end user.
