(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Internet video storage and delivery infrastructure provider Blackwave (www.blackwave.tv) has announced its next-generation Blackwave video delivery system, which uses Blackwave’s enterprise-class Chorus software to address the delivery needs of very large Internet content providers such as content publishers, video aggregators, telcos, wireless network operators, Cable/IPTV providers and content delivery networks.
According to its Wednesday announcement, the new Blackwave System is tightly integrated with Blackwave Chorus software, which optimizes commodity hardware to provide reliable video delivery to thousands of simultaneous viewers across computers, televisions, and mobile devices.
“Blackwave Chorus eliminates all single-points-of-failure associated with video delivery, while delivering unlimited amounts of content,” Blackwave chief executive officer Bob Rizika said in a statement. “The result: the end-use is guaranteed a high-quality viewing experience, and the content provider maintains an excellent reputation.”
Rizika said that the Blackwave System sets a new standard for providing high performance and resilient content delivery that also reduces both capital and operational expenditures. “We are having enormous success with our Blackwave Chorus software at large-scale customer implementations in Japan and South Korea with blue-ribbon customers like SkillUpJapan and Shinsegae,” Rizika said. “The system puts us at the forefront of the global market for ultra-fast distribution of high-quality video content over the Internet.”
Blackwave’s Chorus Software sets a new standard for very large video content providers, delivering high performance, simplifying deployment and management, and greatly reducing capEx and opEx. The Blackwave System also features a wide range of popular video delivery protocols in a single box, and complete support for Adobe Flash delivery.
“These features make the Blackwave System the most complete, highly-integrated solution available for the delivery of large libraries of video content via IP,” said Rizika. “Blackwave is the platform of choice for a traditional over-the-top offering or as part of a ‘TV-Everywhere’-style managed service.”
