Wowza Surpasses 10,000 Global Licensees
Wowza Media Systems,
an emerging leader in streaming media server software, announced
that their award-winning Wowza Media Server Pro has surpassed the
10,000 global licensees mark in just 18 months since its launch. The
key to Wowza's success: its unmatched combination of performance,
innovation, price and support.
Among its 10,000+ licensees, Wowza counts such well-known brands as Sun Microsystems, Macy's, Astral Media, RAI and Mogulus, and numerous service providers, including Interoute, Nacamar and T-Systems Multimedia Solutions GmbH, the business customer brand of telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom.
"We are truly amazed," said David Stubenvoll, CEO &
Co-Founder, Wowza Media Systems. "In even our most optimistic
projections we never predicted that our product acceptance rate would
be so rapid. Nor did we foresee such a broad and deep affection for
what we have done."
Record of Innovation
Launched in February 2007, Wowza Media Server Pro has revolutionized online media by introducing unique capabilities, as well as radically changing the economics of Flash streaming. With Wowza, live and on-demand video and audio, video recording and interactive Flash streaming, is now a reality for a broad range of customers.
Following its strong market entry, Wowza has boosted its competitive edge by continuous innovation with such exclusive features as support for live H.264/HE-AAC RTSP/RTP and MPEG-TS encoders and SHOUTcast-to-Flash streaming for live Web radio broadcasts.
In particular, service providers find Wowza Media Server Pro innovative server software very appealing:
"Wowza became our choice not only because its Wowza Pro server is an outstanding product, but also because Wowza provides exceptional support," commented Oliver Stache, Technology & Innovation Manager, T-Systems Multimedia Solutions GmbH. "Wowza's customer focus and the innovative capabilities of its Flash server enable us to build very scalable streaming infrastructure that addresses the diverse needs of our customers."
"Wowza is the only flexible Flash solution that scales to our requirements," added Steinar Torsvik, FastHost, Norway's largest hosting company, while Stef van der Ziel, CEO of StreamZilla, a leading European CDN, was more analytical: "In our research for alternatives to the overly expensive Adobe FMS, we found that Wowza offered better performance and stability at a much better price point. Since then, we have expanded our market position dramatically. In the past six months, we delivered over a billion streams to a global audience, all due, in large part, to our relationship with Wowza."
Extending Value Though Partnerships
In the past 9 months alone, Wowza has made and continues to make key partnerships that have significantly extended the Wowza eco-system of solutions and applications. Among these are:
