July 27, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Rich media solutions provider Sonic Foundry (sonicfoundry.com) announced on Tuesday that it had launched managed hosting, content management and delivery services for Mediasite, its line of rich media recorders.
Mediasite recorders are appliances that record and deliver rich media content. Sonic Foundry's newly introduced services combine with the Mediasite recorder to form a complete turnkey solution, helping enterprises get their rich media communications up and running quickly.
The company says managed hosting, the first service to be introduced, will enable companies to take advantage of its Mediasite platform, without having to deal with the IT or network infrastructure requirements.
"Sonic Foundry's new support offerings come in response to organizations who recognize the anytime, anywhere benefits of Mediasite?s Web-based rich media communications, but simply do not want the hassle of dealing with internal infrastructure issues," says Rimas Buinevicius, chairman and CEO of Sonic Foundry. "By eliminating all the complexities associated with setting up and managing internal servers, content storage, backup and distribution networks needed for live Webcasting and Web publishing, we're making it even easier to deploy and use a Mediasite recorder."
