SAN JOSE, California, September 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- Flash(R) Streaming Server Software Innovator Success Attributed
 to Unmatched Combination of Performance, Functionality, Price, and Support

Wowza Media Systems, an emerging leader in streaming media server
software, today announced that their award-winning Wowza Media Server(R) Pro 
has surpassed the 10,000 global licensees mark in just 18 months since its 
launch. The key to Wowza's success: its unmatched combination of performance, 
innovation, price and support.

Among its 10,000+ licensees, Wowza counts such well-known brands as Sun
Microsystems, Macy's, Astral Media, RAI and Mogulus, and numerous service
providers, including Interoute, Nacamar and T-Systems Multimedia Solutions
GmbH, the business customer brand of telecommunications giant Deutsche
Telekom.

"We are truly amazed," said David Stubenvoll, CEO & Co-Founder, Wowza
Media Systems. "In even our most optimistic projections we never predicted
that our product acceptance rate would be so rapid. Nor did we foresee such a
broad and deep affection for what we have done." He continued, "Surpassing
this milestone and being named a finalist last week for the second year in a
row in Streaming Media Magazine's Readers' Choice Awards is clear proof that
the market considers Wowza a well-established and respected media server
software brand."

Record of Innovation

Launched in February 2007, Wowza Media Server Pro has revolutionized
online media by introducing unique capabilities, as well as radically
changing the economics of Flash streaming. With Wowza, live and on-demand
video and audio, video recording and interactive Flash streaming, is now a
reality for a broad range of customers.

Following its strong market entry, Wowza has boosted its competitive edge
by continuous innovation with such exclusive features as support for live
H.264/HE-AAC RTSP/RTP and MPEG-TS encoders and SHOUTcast-to-Flash streaming
for live Web radio broadcasts.

In particular, service providers find Wowza Media Server Pro innovative
server software very appealing:

"Wowza became our choice not only because its Wowza Pro server is an
outstanding product, but also because Wowza provides exceptional support,"
commented Oliver Stache, Technology & Innovation Manager, T-Systems
Multimedia Solutions GmbH. "Wowza 's customer focus and the innovative
capabilities of its Flash server enable us to build very scalable streaming
infrastructure that addresses the diverse needs of our customers."

"Wowza is the only flexible Flash solution that scales to our
requirements," added Steinar Torsvik, FastHost, Norway's largest hosting
company, while Stef van der Ziel, CEO of StreamZilla, a leading European CDN,
was more analytical: "In our research for alternatives to the overly
expensive Adobe FMS, we found that Wowza offered better performance and
stability at a much better price point. Since then, we have expanded our
market position dramatically. In the past six months, we delivered over a
billion streams to a global audience, all due, in large part, to our
relationship with Wowza."

Extending Value Though Partnerships

In the past 9 months alone, Wowza has made and continues to make key
partnerships that have significantly extended the Wowza eco-system of
solutions and applications. Among these are:

       user-managed media streaming offering powered by the Amazon Web
