Readers Validate the Eight-Month-Old Streaming Media Server Software’s
Exploding Market Popularity

San Jose, CA, October 23, 2007—Wowza Media Systems announced today that
Wowza Media Server Pro, its increasingly popular Flash® streaming media
server software, has been named Second Runner-Up in the Server/Hardware
Software category, in the 2007 Streaming Media Readers’ Choice Awards.

Launched just eight months ago, this win places Wowza in the Top 3
position in the streaming server software space, just behind the
well-established Adobe Flash Media Server 2 (FMS2) and Microsoft Windows
Media Server, who captured the number 1 and number 2 positions,
respectively. What’s more, readers placed Wowza Media Server Pro ahead of
streaming servers from long-time market players Apple and Real Networks.

In the article accompanying the list of winners on the Streaming Media
website, Streaming Media magazine editor Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen
strongly acknowledged Wowza’s incredible market impact in such a short
amount of time:

“The Flash Media Server faced fierce competition this year, particularly
in Europe, from the software-only Wowza Media Server, which not only beat
Flash Media Server on cost but matched or beat it on performance,” he
wrote.

Upon hearing the news of Wowza’s strong showing, David Stubenvoll, CEO and
Co-Founder, Wowza Media Systems, was quick to share the credit. “To place
so highly in such a distinguished competitive field, especially for a
product that has been on a market less than a year is a win not only for
the Wowza Team, but also for our customers who believed in us from the
beginning.” He added: “It is truly an honor to be singled out by the
industry influencers who comprise Streaming Media Magazine’s readership.”

Wowza, along with the other winners, will be celebrated in a special
awards ceremony which will be held as part of Streaming Media West,
November 6-8, San Jose, CA. For the complete list of winners, along with
