Yonden Media Works Selects Wowza Media Server™ Pro to Replace Adobe®

San Jose, CA, October, 2, 2007—Wowza Media Systems announced today that
Yonden Media Works Co. Inc. (YMS), a leading provider of video and media
services in Japan, has selected Wowza Media Server Pro as the official
Flash streaming software server platform for its entire range of Flash
media services, including live and on-demand video streaming.

The launch of Yonden Media Works’ Wowza Flash Streaming Service marks a
new era in large-scale Flash streaming in Japan. Wowza Media Server Pro,
the most advanced Flash streaming server software currently available
replaces the outmoded Adobe Flash Communication Servers (FCS) which YMW
had deployed previously.

“We are pleased to be the first to offer Wowza-powered Flash streaming in
Japan,” said Kazuyoshi Nakaoka, President, Yonden Media Works. “Wowza
Media Server Pro performance is exceptional and lets us easily scale up to
meet the growing demand for Flash media services.”

“Wowza has exceeded our expectations on every level,” added Isono Tomoaki,
Director Technology and Development, Yonden Media Works. “The product has
proven itself to work well in demanding stress tests, and its economics,
along with the dedicated level of support offered by the Wowza team, has
shown us that we have selected a Flash streaming solution that stands
above its competitors.”

“Being selected by Yonden Media Works, one of the most experienced
streaming service providers in Japan, is a big honor,” said David
Stubenvoll, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder, Wowza Media Systems.
“For us, it is an incredibly strong validation of the value Wowza is able
to deliver to service providers worldwide.”

Among the highlights of the YMW deployment:

• Yonden Media Works’ on-demand Flash video service now brings its
customers an enhanced viewing experience made possible by Wowza Pro’s
unique fast-forward/rewind functionality.
• Wowza’s SecureToken anti-ripping methodology gives the YMW customers the
strongest available protection from content piracy in on-demand and live
streaming.
• Using the Wowza edition of YMW’s FLV Manager, customers can organize
their videos into playlists, record live events, and validate their
recorded content prior to posting.
The YMW Flash Streaming Service is available for corporate and product
promotion, social networking, media sites, e-learning and many other uses.
