SAN JOSE, California, December 10 /PRNewswire/ --

- Full Featured, Extensible Wowza Media Server(TM) Pro Unlimited is
Already Proclaimed 'the Smart Choice' by Customers Worldwide

Wowza Media Systems, emerging leader in media streaming server software,
today made Flash streaming even more affordable with an 80% price reduction
for its widely popular Wowza Media Server Pro Unlimited. Now priced at
US$995, Wowza once again reaffirmed its price leadership on a mission to make
flash streaming server technology affordable to all.

Since Wowza Media Server Pro launched in February 2007, Wowza has taken a
leadership role in radically redefining the economics of Flash streaming and
rapidly gaining over 3700 licensees worldwide. Wowza's customers have
proclaimed its Wowza Media Server Pro "the smart choice" and recognized its
value in the 2007 Streaming Media Readers' Choice awards, naming it as a top
3 media server choice along with Adobe and Microsoft.

The full-featured and extensible Wowza Pro Unlimited is available for
purchase immediately. The product provides cost savings over 75% compared to
Adobe's recently announced Flash Media Interactive Server (FMIS), scheduled
for availability at the end of January 2008.

"The streaming market has reached a dramatic inflection point. The rise
of YouTube and its many imitators and the proliferation of interactive media
content demands a high-performance, scalable and right-priced Flash streaming
media platform," said David Stubenvoll, CEO and Co-Founder, Wowza Media
Systems. "Our market success and unique position as the independent streaming
media server software provider allows us to empower our customers to meet the
challenges of this rapidly growing market."

Wowza's strong economic value, attention to customer needs and the robust
performance of its server has established Wowza Media Server Pro as the
preferred Flash media server choice with thousands of users.

"The technical expertise of the Wowza team and the support they gave us
made a huge positive impact on our business," commented Norm Pearson, Systems
Engineer, Cengage (formerly Thomson Learning). "We can confidently say that
Wowza is the smart choice not only for us but for any company that strives
for success in Flash streaming."

Mr. Pearson's comments are echoed by other Wowza's customers, which,
among others, include:

-- Well-known enterprises such as Macy's and Julius Blum GmbH
    -- A growing number of CDNs around the globe including Interoute, Nacamar
       and Yonden Media Works
    -- Hosting and streaming providers such as FLV Hosting, NetMasters and
       stream24 Webcasting
    -- Many major music portals like http://www.musiqlub.com and
       http://www.spodtroniclive.com, home of the famed BBC music archives

"As Europe's largest and most advanced CDN, Interoute needed a technology
partner that was able to scale rapidly with our business. Wowza Media Server
Pro has demonstrated very solid reliability, and the Wowza team has given us
exceptional ongoing support. Wowza has been a crucial factor in attracting
some of the world's best-known brands such as Virgin Megastores, to our Flash
Streaming Media Manager platform," said Oisin Lunny, Product Manager, Online
Distribution & Media Services, Interoute.

Paul Vizard, president of FLV Hosting, a pioneering Flash hosting
provider which recently replaced Adobe(R) servers with the Wowza platform,
said, "Choosing Wowza to be the exclusive platform for our Flash hosting
business is the smartest decision we made. For anyone who wants to do
large-scale Flash streaming, it's a no-brainer that Wowza is, bar-none, the
only way to go."

"The highly valuable content, such as audio concerts that we stream from
our spodtroniclive.com portal demand reliability and performance. Wowza
delivers beautifully on both counts," commented Mikko Linnamaki, CEO, Liquid
Air Lab GmbH.

Smaller service providers, like Erlangen, Germany-based stream24
Webcasting, enjoy the personal attention Wowza provides. "With Wowza we feel
like a special client not just a client number. I appreciate such a
relationship," said Adam Bardonski, General Manager, stream24 Webcasting.

Wowza is also simplifying its product line-up. Effective with this
announcement, the limited-connection Wowza Pro50 and Wowza Pro150 server
editions will be no longer available though the company's web store. Wowza
Media Server Pro Unlimited offers unlimited connections and unlimited
bandwidth at a low US$995 price. For more information, including product
