Wowza Media Server Pro Priced More Affordably
Wowza Media Systems, emerging leader in media streaming server software, is making Flash streaming even more affordable with an 80% price reduction for its widely popular Wowza Media Server Pro Unlimited. Now priced at $995, Wowza once again reaffirmed its price leadership on a mission to make flash streaming server technology affordable to all.
Since Wowza Media Server Pro launched in February 2007, Wowza has taken a leadership role in radically redefining the economics of Flash streaming and rapidly gaining over 3,700 licensees worldwide. Wowza's customers have proclaimed its Wowza Media Server Pro "the smart choice" and recognized its value in the 2007 Streaming Media Readers' Choice awards, naming it as a top 3 media server choice along with Adobe and Microsoft.
The full-featured and extensible Wowza Pro Unlimited is available for purchase immediately. The product provides cost savings over 75% compared to Adobe's recently announced Flash Media Interactive Server (FMIS), scheduled for availability at the end of January 2008.
"The streaming market has reached a dramatic inflection point. The rise of YouTube and its many imitators and the proliferation of interactive media content demands a high-performance, scalable and right-priced Flash streaming media platform," said David Stubenvoll, CEO and Co-Founder, Wowza Media Systems. "Our market success and unique position as the independent streaming media server software provider allows us to empower our customers to meet the challenges of this rapidly growing market."
Wowza's strong economic value, attention to customer needs and the robust performance of its server has established Wowza Media Server Pro as the preferred Flash media server choice with thousands of users.
"The technical expertise of the Wowza team and the support they gave us made a huge positive impact on our business," commented Norm Pearson, Systems Engineer, Cengage (formerly Thomson Learning). "We can confidently say that Wowza is the smart choice not only for us but for any company that strives for success in Flash streaming."
Wowza is also simplifying its product line-up. Effective with this announcement, the limited-connection Wowza Pro50 and Wowza Pro150 server editions will be no longer available though the company’s web store. Wowza Media Server Pro Unlimited offers unlimited connections and unlimited bandwidth at a low $995 price.
