- CacheLogic's Velocix Network Supports Delivery of Broadcast Quality Streamed On-Demand TV

CacheLogic, provider of the world's leading Digital Asset Delivery Network, today announced that the next generation global Internet TV network Babelgum is using its Velocix network to deliver progressive video streaming of on-demand TV content.

The Velocix Network is designed to enable content owners, movie studios, and broadcasters to deliver video and other large digital assets over the web, with unprecedented performance, breakthrough economics and an asset delivery lifecycle management system that provides content owners the control, analytics and reporting they need to manage their asset libraries through the digital distribution chain.

Babelgum offers a global TV-on-demand service that enables consumers to view near TV quality, full screen video from professional content owners, covering everything from news and sport through to entertainment, documentaries and lifestyle TV. The Velocix Digital Asset Delivery Network allows Babelgum to provide the consistently high quality of service it is renowned for, regardless of the country from which consumers are viewing content. It will also provide a delivery network able to scale in line with the current growth of the Babelgum service as its audience continues to increase rapidly.

Says Mallku Caballero, Chief Technology Officer, Babelgum: "Cachelogic's Velocix network is a crucial part of our delivery infrastructure, and is fundamental to the high quality of the Babelgum service now and in the future. We collaborated with CacheLogic to create a video delivery capability that blends P2P traffic together with bandwidth from multiple Velocix network caches to guarantee the level of service we need, whilst at the same time changing the economics of video delivery."

Adds Phill Robinson, CEO, CacheLogic: "We're delighted that we're helping a ground-breaking web broadcaster succeed with a proposition that's based on quality as well as choice. Traditional content delivery networks weren't built to address the demands of delivering high quality video over the internet. CacheLogic provides a breakthrough in the performance and economics of online rich media distribution at a time when consumer appetite for video over the internet set to grow exponentially."
