August 15, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting and managed service provider SAVVIS (savvis.com) announced on Monday that it had partnered with NS8 Corporation (ns8corp.net) to provide an IP-based platform that will enable customers to deliver video on demand, music, games and digital content.

 

According to the partnership, NS8 will integrate its iWave Interactive Media Distribution System with SAVVIS's global Content Delivery Network and virtualized utility services platform. NS8 says it will launch the platform in November after it secures distribution rights with music and movie copyright owners.

 

"SAVVIS was the only solution that combined an industry-leading, global CDN with the advanced utility services we required to develop the highly scalable, end-to-end solution for distribution of extremely valuable content in an IP environment," says Anthony Alda, chairman and co-founder of NS8.

 

The integrated solution will combine the streaming and caching abilities of SAVVIS's content delivery network with SAVVIS's virtualized service delivery elements including utility storage, server, and compute technologies.

 

"NS8 licenses their digital assets from well-known studios who expect their content to be distributed in only the highest quality environments," says Nathan Kerry, vice president and general manger for SAVVIS Media and Entertainment Division. "By enabling this high-performance, end-to-end solution for the distribution of digital content over broadband, NS8 and SAVVIS will allow customers to join the rapidly growing on-demand entertainment market immediately. Our collaboration will drive the next generation of on-demand technology, facilitating content access across a wide variety of locations and devices."
