Abstract: A method and system configured for managing and controlling one or more on-demand servers in order to ingest content files, set-up on-demand sessions at a subscriber request and record status information about the on-demand streams in the operational framework of an on demand service operator (ODSO) with and without the support of the Business Management System (BMS) platform to provide video-on-demand (VOD), subscription video on demand (SVOD), television on demand (TOD), and audio on demand (AOD) services by streaming content to on-demand to a customer. The method can be implemented as software running on an application server with a a web application GUI, a CORBA-based interface to the BMS, a SOAP-based interface to the VOD server, and a set of internal services that glue the other components together on top of an Oracle database all configured to managing and controlling one or more on-demand servers.
