BitTorrent Builds up at 365 Main
September 1, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center operator 365 Main (www.365main.com) announced on Thursday that peer-assisted digital content distribution platform BitTorrent (www.bittorrent.com) has expanded its data center presence with 365 Main ten-fold. A customer of 365 Main’s San Francisco data center since February 2005, BitTorrent’s recent expansion brings the company to a 600-square-foot server cage, roughly 28 racks.
BitTorrent’s content distribution platform enables users worldwide to publish, search and download popular digital content quickly. The company’s data center requirements have grown significantly as it has signed recent media distribution deals with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and a number of independent movie distributors, which has increased its digital library to thousands of titles.
Its “file-swarming” technology enables the transfer of large files from a Web site to a PC with the speed and bandwidth efficiency of peer-assisted transfers. This method of delivery is the first peer-assisted network that combines guaranteed availability, high-quality video and rapid download rates.
“BitTorrent is not a company that limits itself by convention,” says Ashwin Navin, president and co-founder of BitTorrent. “With our aggressive growth plans we need a data center that can grow with us and deliver reliable power, cooling and connectivity. 365 Main provides these features within a stone’s throw away from our engineering team in San Francisco.”
