Internap Selects Concurrent's eFactor(TM) Product Suite to Expand CDN Service
Options for Mobile Video Delivery
eFactor simplifies delivery of live and on-demand content
ATLANTA, Oct. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Concurrent (CCUR), a global
leader in video and media data solutions, today announced that Internap Network
Services Corporation (INAP) has selected Concurrent's recently introduced
eFactor(TM) to simplify multi-format video delivery for live or on-demand
content. Internap, a leading provider of intelligent IT infrastructure services,
is the first company to leverage Concurrent's new software platform that
facilitates preparation and packaging of high quality video content for delivery
to a wide range of devices.
"Increasingly, end users are demanding high-quality live and on-demand content on
their mobile devices, which makes us very excited about our partnership with
Concurrent," said Pete Mastin, vice president of the CDN business unit at
Internap. "The new in-stream transmuxing capabilities in Internap's Content
Delivery Network leverage Concurrent's eFactor offering, and particularly the
Transmux SDK feature. This enables us to dynamically repackage content in
transmission to meet the formatting requirements of a variety of end-user
devices."
The eFactor product suite is designed to simplify the complex task of delivering
multi-format video to varied devices, and is applicable to various markets
including CDNs, Internet content aggregators, telcos and MSOs. eFactor's Transmux
solution is designed as a software development kit (SDK) that enables on-the-fly
repackaging of a single source video asset to the three market-leading HTTP
adaptive bitrate formats, including Apple?, Adobe? and Microsoft?, streamlining
what has traditionally been a complex and costly task.
"eFactor was built to solve the multi-platform dilemma that many service and
content providers face today," said Jim Denenny, Concurrent's general manager and
vice president of online media solutions. "Consumers expect 24 hour access to
content via multiple devices and providers must be able to deliver. eFactor will
enable Internap to build a stronger presence for mobile applications, delivering
greater value to their customers."
