VitalStream(R) and Multicast(TM) Team to Launch Full-Service Webcast Solution; Single Source Solution Simplifies Workflow for Webcasting
IRVINE, Calif. & ATLANTA, Oct 11, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- VitalStream (VSTH), the leading streaming media solutions provider and international content delivery network (CDN), today introduced a single-source, full-service solution enabling businesses to create Webcasts.
VitalStream's service incorporates Atlanta-based Multicast's state-of-the-art digital media file conversion system and custom interfaces to produce enhanced videos and eliminate programming interruptions. This enables organizations to transmit complex, optimum-quality, multi-camera live Webcasts via fully-managed servers or satellites. The service also offers interactive features including integrated advertising and sponsorship, animation, agenda windows, discussion chat windows and polls. With VitalStream's reliable, secure CDN, businesses can also archive Webcasts in their original form, eliminating the need to reproduce the same presentation on multiple occasions.
"Providing easy-to-use streaming solutions is a key component of VitalStream's overall corporate strategy. Since creating and delivering a Webcast involves the convergence of many technologies, it was an obvious choice for VitalStream to team with Multicast to develop a complete Webcasting solution for our customers," said Jack Waterman, CEO at VitalStream. "VitalStream is one of the only companies with the knowledge, experience and delivery platform to bring these diverse elements together into a full-service solution."
"While we are considered to be specialists in the managed delivery of live Internet broadcasts -- serving over 1,100 live events in September alone -- it is absolutely imperative that we offer access to a reliable streaming network. This ensures our clients worldwide have the best broadcast-quality viewing experience," said Jason Simpson, executive vice president of business development at Multicast. "VitalStream, with its proven security track-record and advanced features offerings, was an obvious choice in our search for a world-class content delivery network."
VitalStream recently authored a white paper, outlining the top tips on preparing for and delivering corporate Webcasts. The paper, Hands-On: How to Deliver a Successful Webcast, discusses the key technologies provided by partners such as Multicast, and can be found online at http://www.vitalstream.com/.
