  • Product Family includes support for Audio and Video Live Streaming with scalability to large global audiences
  • Expands Partnerships with Adobe & Microsoft to cover Live Events with Adobe Flash & Microsoft Windows Media
  • Announces introduction of new revolutionary hybrid-P2P live streaming solution
  • Cambridge, UK - March 26th 2008. Velocix, provider
    of the worlds leading Digital Asset Delivery Network, today announced
    the addition of a complete family of Live Video Streaming solutions to
    its current product portfolio. The Velocix Live Streaming product family
    includes: Velocix Live Video Streaming for Adobe Flash & Microsoft
    Windows Media, together with Velocix Live Audio Streaming.

    Velocix Live Streaming also includes a revolutionary new hybrid-P2P live
    streaming option, which provides scalability to the largest global
    audiences for online video and audio events and broadcasts, with
    compelling delivery costs and economics. With these new services,
    Velocix further extends its lead in the provision of digital delivery
    services for large digital assets, such as video, software and games,
    offering the widest variety of online delivery options available on the
    market today.

    Live events, including news, sports and music concerts, present
    significant online delivery challenges. Unlike on-demand services for
    pre-recorded materials where viewing requests are spread over time, live
    services result in concentrated demand from a potentially huge audience,
    just for the duration of the event. As a consequence, event organizers
    are often forced to compromise quality or limit audience sizes when
    using conventional live streaming services.

    The Velocix Live Streaming includes several delivery options, including
    hybrid-P2P, which blends delivery of live streams from the Velocix
    Network caches as well as sharing bandwidth with "peers". Each
    participant is not only watching or listening to the live broadcast but
    is effectively relaying the signal (acting as a "peer") to the other
    audience members at the same time. This community distribution process
    is managed in real-time by sophisticated control and routing algorithms
    hosted on the Velocix Network, ensuring required service levels and an
    uninterrupted experience for the entire audience.

    "Based on significant customer demand we have decided to launch a
    complete new family products for live streaming, that compliment our
    current delivery services for video streaming and download. We are
    delighted to be able to offer live streaming with strategic partners
    such as Adobe and Microsoft, as well as offering our innovative new
    Hybrid-P2P service that together fundamentally disrupt the performance &
    economics of live streaming on the internet" said Phill Robinson, CEO,
    Velocix.

    The Velocix Network is designed to enable content owners, studios, and
    broadcasters to deliver video and other large digital assets, such as
    software, games and audio over the web, with unprecedented performance,
    breakthrough economics and an asset delivery lifecycle management system
    that provides content owners the control, analytics and reporting they
    need to manage their asset libraries through the digital distribution
    chain.
