SAN JOSE, California, November 27 /PRNewswire/ --
- Rambla Cites Performance, Reliability and World-Class Support as Major
Deciding Factors in Wowza Selection
Wowza Media Systems announced today that Rambla (http://www.rambla.be), a
cutting-edge Belgian CDN predominantly based on open-source solutions, is now
using Wowza Media Server(TM) Pro, its award-winning commercial Flash
streaming server software, as Rambla's chosen platform for Flash media
streaming services.
"While we built our CDN mostly on the open source platforms, Wowza's
commercial server was the only practical choice for streaming Flash," said Jo
Martens, Managing Director, Rambla. "Wowza gave us the rapid time-to-market
we needed to satisfy the market demand with a reliable and scalable solution.
We are delighted with the Wowza Pro performance, reliability and even more
importantly with the world-class support Wowza provides."
The Rambla deal represents a growing trend in the number of service
providers now streaming live and on-demand Flash content on the Wowza
platform and reaffirms Wowza Pro's undeniable value to a wide range of
service providers. This deal comes on the heels of Wowza's other recently
announced service provider wins in Europe, Japan and North America.
Among the highlights of the Rambla deployments:
-- Top interactive advertising agencies use the Rambla CDN and Wowza
Flash streaming to create rich media environments for customers like
Microsoft, Grohe, and Neckermann.
-- Rambla customer Aristo Music (http://www.aristomusic.be) is using
Wowza Media Server Pro to stream its revolutionary new Internet radio
service that sets the mood at hotels, restaurants and cafes throughout
Belgium with selections from Aristo's 30,000+ song library.
-- Wowza Pro's exceptional stability and scalability, along with its
SecureToken anti-ripping protection, assures Rambla's customers like
CarChannel.be of highly reliable and secure 24x7 Flash streaming.
"It's very exciting for us to partner with a company like Rambla which
has a long history of innovation and an incredibly impressive roster of
customers," said David Stubenvoll, CEO and Co-Founder, Wowza Media Systems.
