| Nirvanix Brings Stars to the Cloud Nirvanix announces that its Storage Delivery Network (SDN) has been serving as the integrated promotional platform for Doom Inc.'s worldwide promotion of its first full-length feature "On The Doll." For the past four months, the film's official website has provided visitors with promotional trailers and other content that originates from Nirvanix's global cluster of storage delivery nodes across North America, Europe and Asia. "On The Doll", a story of the victims of child abuse and the pain it visits upon their later lives, stars Brittany Snow and Josh Janowicz and has screened at several prominent film festivals including the Austin Film Festival, the Avignon Film Festival, Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival and Cinequest. The film has also just been accepted into the prestigious Oldenburg International Film Festival in Germany in September 2008. Prior to the launch of Nirvanix's SDN, providing a consistent user media experience around the world with higher-quality audio and video files was a very expensive endeavor for media companies just beginning to scale. Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) are very costly and often times are the wrong technology for anything receiving less than tens of thousands of hits a day. The Storage Delivery Network can both store media content across the globe and then deliver it directly to the user or to an appropriate web service – including a CDN itself, providing it doesn't become "super hot" on a given day – all at a fraction of the cost of using a CDN by itself. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
