Silicon Valley Web Hosting (SVWH), a leading provider of business-critical Shared Hosting, Virtual Private Servers, Dedicated Servers, and Managed Hosting, today announced the company will leverage
Nokeena Networks’ Media Flow Director™ with SmoothFlow™ technology as the foundation for a new streaming video service. SVWH will provide content providers with the ability to deliver a television-like video experience to their end customers at a fraction of the cost of CDNs.
Nokeena’s Media Flow Director (MFD) is powered by their patent-pending Media Delivery System. Nokeena Media Flow Director can deliver a large number of concurrent media streams at different data rates while continuously delivering a viewing experience free of jitter.
“We recognize that online media – such as video – is the fastest growing type of content on the Internet and we look forward to offering new and existing customers a cost effective, high-quality media distribution and delivery service using Nokeena’s solution,” said Bruce Templeton, CEO of SVWH. “Nokeena’s technology fits with our goal of supporting the sophisticated requirements of companies that need to deliver high-quality streaming video over the Internet for the lowest possible price. The Nokeena Media Flow Director allows our clients to deliver high-quality streaming video for a fraction of the cost of a CDN.”
The Media Flow Director and SmoothFlow suite of tools enables online video content to play jitter-free no matter what the viewer's connection speed is, or their choice of media viewer. To enhance ease of use SmoothFlow works with the Flash run-time player over HTTP in order to provide adaptive bit-rate streaming. As individual connectivity slows — due to network traffic, proximity, and other issues, SmoothFlow automatically adapts and adjusts the stream to a lower resolution, lower bit rate or different version of the content to ensure that the video never stops or hesitates.
“Nokeena’s mission is to drive the convergence between traditional entertainment mediums and the Internet by redefining new media infrastructure,” said Rajan Raghavan, co-founder and CEO, Nokeena. “Media Flow Director improves the quality of experience (QoE) for online TV, videos and other new media, and combined with SVWH’s services, will help content owners, media publishers and distributors maximize their revenue opportunities while minimizing the cost of video delivery.”
Online media publishers and aggregators are faced with competitive pressures to deliver higher quality content to keep their viewers engaged. Silicon Valley Web Hosting’s Nokeena powered streaming video service is the perfect choice for cost conscious organizations that want to stream TV-like, high-quality video to their clients.
