October 17, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IP services and content distribution provider Highwinds Network Group (www.highwinds.com) is now streaming Netmax Media's (www.netmax.tv) digital entertainment library, making more than 30,000 licensed high-definition movies and television programs available on-demand to global audiences via the Highwinds CDN.

According to Highwinds's announcement this week at Streaming Media Europe (www.streamingmedia.com/europe/), the Highwinds CDN is fully integrated into the Netmax Media viewing platform, which is one of the world's largest video-on-demand and IPTV platforms, offering VOD rentals and subscription package plans. Netmax identifies its content largely as multi-language, "ethnic television and entertainment."

"We are pleased to support Netmax's mission of reaching global audiences and ensuring high-quality user experiences," Highwinds marketing and business development vice president Mark Hayes said in a statement. "This is being achieved by combining Netmax's vast and diverse media library with Highwinds' ability to deliver the library on-demand to users around the world at lightning-fast speeds."

In early September, Highwinds secured financial backing from venture capital firm European Founders Fund (www.europeanfounders.com) for expansion into Europe.

The Highlands CDN currently spans 23 data centers in North America and Europe including Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Paris and Amsterdam locations. The Highlands CDN supports its high-performance, RollingThunder network, and StrikeTracker media manager and reporting dashboard to deliver content, videos and live events globally for worldwide customers including multimedia giant Technicolor by Thomson (www.technicolor.com).
