PLATFORM BENEFITS Sample Clauses

PLATFORM BENEFITS. The Platform benefits are described in detail in Section 7 of D3.1 “FMI Vision, Use Cases and Scenarios”. In general, the goal is to improve performance of interactive media systems whilst managing costs associated with infrastructure resources. Figure 3 provides a summary of four key performance requirements for FMI and generally the 5G space along discussion of associated benefits: • Reduce latency: latency has long been recognized as a major impact on user experience, leading not only to the deployment of content delivery networks but many past and ongoing protocol improvements (e.g., introduction of QUIC [QUIC] aiming at browsing latency improvements). Reducing the service path length is an important target for FLAME through utilizing an intelligent service endpoint management and flexible routing solutions. • Stem unicast proliferation: the emergence of HTTP as the de-facto streaming protocol in the Internet, infrastructure providers are currently incapable of utilizing in-network multicast capabilities to stem the linear cost explosion that the unicast delivery model of HTTP creates. Through its capability to deliver HTTP response through in-network native multicast, FLAME provides a unique capability that significantly reduces costs for multi-viewer scenarios. • Differentiate services: virtualization opens up the capability to differentiate services by placing service endpoints throughout the network with localized and personalized behaviour. This, however, requires the network to provide a dynamic service routing capability that directs traffic to the most appropriate local service instance. Also, a failover mechanism is required to indirect service requests if a local instance is unable to provide sufficient service response. Furthermore, adaptive media delivery is crucial for differentiation of services, allowing for adapting services, for instance, to different user device requirements by adding transcoding capabilities to the service path for specific users. FLAME provides exactly these capabilities. • Localize traffic: reduction of network traffic is often realized through localizing traffic wherever possible, also addressing the aforementioned latency reduction. Capitalizing on FLAME capabilities to dynamically route requests to the most appropriate service instance achieves a likely significant reduction of traffic being sent over longer paths. It also allows for keeping data local in terms of information security as well as possibly exposin...

  • Health Benefits For the eighteen (18) month period following the Termination Date, provided that Executive is eligible for, and timely elects COBRA continuation coverage, the Company will pay on Executive’s behalf, the monthly cost of COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan for Executive and, where applicable, her spouse and dependents, at the level in effect as of the Termination Date, adjusted for any increase in such level paid by the Company for active employees, less the employee portion of the applicable premiums that Executive would have paid had she remained employed during the such eighteen (18) month period (the COBRA continuation coverage period shall run concurrently with the eighteen (18) month period that COBRA premium payments are made on Executive’s behalf under this subsection 1(a)(ii)). The reimbursements described herein shall be paid in monthly installments, commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, provided that the first such installment payment shall include any unpaid reimbursements that would have been made during the first sixty (60) days following the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s payment of the monthly COBRA premiums in accordance with this subsection 1(a)(ii) shall cease immediately upon the earlier of: (A) the end of the eighteen (18) month period following the Termination Date, or (B) the date that Executive is eligible for comparable coverage with a subsequent employer. Executive agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately if subsequent employment is accepted prior to the end of the eighteen (18) month period following the Termination Date and Executive agrees to repay to the Company any COBRA premium amount paid on Executive’s behalf during such period for any period of employment during which group health coverage is available through a subsequent employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to restructure the foregoing COBRA premium payment arrangement in any manner necessary or appropriate to avoid fines, penalties or negative tax consequences to the Company or Executive (including, without limitation, to avoid any penalty imposed for violation of the nondiscrimination requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or the guidance issued thereunder), as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.

  • Fringe Benefits During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to such fringe benefits and perquisites as are provided by the Company to its senior executives from time to time, in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company, and shall receive such additional fringe benefits and perquisites as the Company may, in its discretion, from time-to-time provide.

The monthly retiree medical subsidy amount to which these employees are entitled shall be prorated based on the extent to which their service credit is prorated due to their less than full time status.
