| CDNetworks & Nirvanix Announce a Strategic Partnership CDNetworks and Nirvanix have announced a strategic partnership to deliver the industry's only unified cloud storage and content delivery service. Available immediately, CDNetworks' customers will be able to store unlimited amounts of protected and secure content online and move content instantly to and from any of CDNetworks' 63 nodes worldwide at previously unseen economies. The partnership with CDNetworks will provide Nirvanix customers with the ability to not only securely store massive amounts of media and content but also stage content for instant delivery anywhere in the world, utilizing one of CDNetworks' data centers for local delivery. By combining these services, companies will have better overall media delivery capability and also save 80 to 90 percent over building or growing storage infrastructures of their own. CDNetworks Library Storage solution provides CDNetworks' customers with geographically redundant storage nodes with no file size limitation and 100 percent content offload from their origin servers to the cloud. This secure and redundant edge-storage is particularly beneficial to companies with massive amounts of online video and data files. Storing all content on the cloud brings significant efficiencies, particularly when compared to building and delivering content from an in-house infrastructure on a global scale. The architecture that results from this partnership is a model whereby CDNetworks' caching infrastructure is unified with the persistent storage of Nirvanix. As the demand and popularity for a piece of content changes, the data is moved between cache and cloud storage. Typically, online storage services significantly limit the ability to store infrequently accessed content and restrict file sizes to a few gigabytes. In addition, media files are often only stored at one or two locations. The CDNetworks Library Storage solution does not put any of these restrictions on customers. CDNetworks brings extensive data security and copyright protection to all content delivered though its service. Digital Rights Management encrypts multimedia content and only allows playback for authorized users, while the Media Authentication technology prevents unauthorized users from viewing streaming multimedia content by assigning access privileges. Additionally, CDNetworks' Recording Interception capability prevents the recording of streaming media content for illegal distribution by terminating the download of distorting images when illegal recording is detected. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
