| Oversi and RawFlow Announce Partnership to Boost Internet TV Delivery |
|
The joint solution will allow broadcasters and service providers to reach a wider audience for online TV via a more efficient use of bandwidth. Petach Tikva, Israel, and London, UK, July 16, 2007: Oversi, experts in P2P (peer-to-peer) caching and content delivery solutions, and RawFlow, a leading provider of live P2P streaming technologies, today announced their collaboration to enhance the delivery of TV over the Internet. Leveraging P2P networks, the technology partnership will allow broadcasters and service providers to support the growing demand for high quality Internet broadcasts using less bandwidth. The solution combines Intelligent Content Distribution (ICD), RawFlow's innovative technology for live streaming, with OverCache™, Oversi's powerful P2P caching and content delivery platform. This means that the ICD server software will interface with the OverCache nodes, allowing service providers to offer clients stable content delivery at higher bit rates. Enhancing RawFlow P2P streaming technology with the OverCache platform also increases the robustness of the P2P network grid. Where there is limited upstream capacity, the OverCache platform can boost the limited resources in the network. The RawFlow ICD, supported by the high throughput caching grid, enables broadcasters to benefit from better quality of service for their Internet streaming and reduce their real-time online delivery costs. Additionally, by delivering most of the bandwidth from the local cache, the Oversi/RawFlow solution enables service providers to reduce the bandwidth load on their networks. Highly scalable, the integrated solution allows broadcasters and service providers to support a growing global customer base. Eitan Efron, VP of Marketing and Business Development, Oversi, said: "Our partnership with RawFlow enables service providers to offer their customers a wider variety of online TV content, including broadcaster channels and independent niche and user-generated content, with better quality of service. With the extra bandwidth coming from the OverCache, service providers don't have to worry about the new services overloading their existing network." Mikkel Dissing, Chief Executive Officer of RawFlow, commented: "This technology integration represents a major development in our product offering in terms of enabling higher bit rate AV streaming and maximizing the speed of the P2P network grid. The integration of Oversi's caching and RawFlow's ICD can act as a booster in the network when there is not enough upstream capacity. In simple terms, you could say that the P2P powered caches work as turbo chargers for Internet TV delivery". About Oversi About RawFlow RawFlow Media Contact Media Contact |
