Streaming Media's Success Story
CDNs are designed to meet three major goals: reliability, scalability, and fast performance. VitalStream’s carrier-neutral network infrastructure provides exceptional reliability. To meet this challenge, VitalStream’s network employs multiple redundancies at every level. VitalStream’s network operations centers are provisioned for continuous electrical power, comprehensive disaster prevention and recovery, and a secure environment. Each center is connected to multiple tier-1 Internet backbone carriers providing additional redundancy and high-quality streaming around the globe. Keynote Systems, using its Streaming Perspective® measurement service, awarded VitalStream’s content delivery network a StreamQ rating of A+.
VitalStream’s reliable network infrastructure also provides unparalleled scalability and performance. In the first quarter of 2004, the VitalStream delivery network served over 1.75 million streams in one twenty four-hour period to Internet viewers. VitalStream employs RouteScience® adaptive network software to intelligently and proactively monitor and route network traffic. This real-time analysis dynamically assesses and adjusts the network delivery infrastructure and optimizes network traffic paths.
