Yonden Media Works Selects Wowza Media Server Pro
Wowza Media Systems announced that Yonden Media Works Co. Inc., a leading provider of video and media services in Japan, has selected Wowza Media Server Pro as the official Flash streaming software server platform for its entire range of Flash media services, including live and on-demand video streaming.
The launch of Yonden Media Works�s Wowza Flash Streaming Service marks a new era in large-scale Flash streaming in Japan. Wowza Media Server Pro, the most advanced Flash streaming server software currently available replaces the outmoded Adobe Flash Communication Servers (FCS) which YMW had deployed previously.
"We are pleased to be the first to offer Wowza-powered Flash streaming in Japan," said Kazuyoshi Nakaoka, President, Yonden Media Works. "Wowza Media Server Pro performance is exceptional and lets us easily scale up to meet the growing demand for Flash media services."
"Wowza has exceeded our expectations on every level," added Isono Tomoaki, Director Technology and Development, Yonden Media Works. "The product has proven itself to work well in demanding stress tests, and its economics, along with the dedicated level of support offered by the Wowza team, has shown us that we have selected a Flash streaming solution that stands above its competitors."
"Being selected by Yonden Media Works, one of the most experienced streaming service providers in Japan, is a big honor," said David Stubenvoll, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder, Wowza Media Systems. "For us, it is an incredibly strong validation of the value Wowza is able to deliver to service providers worldwide."
Among the highlights of the YMW deployment:
- Yonden Media Work's on-demand Flash video service now brings its customers an enhanced viewing experience made possible by Wowza Pro's unique fast-forward/rewind functionality.
- Wowza's SecureToken anti-ripping methodology gives the YMW customers the strongest available protection from content piracy in on-demand and live streaming.
- Using the Wowza edition of YMW's FLV Manager, customers can organize their videos into playlists, record live events, and validate their recorded content prior to posting.
The YMW Flash Streaming Service is available for corporate and product promotion, social networking, media sites, e-learning and many other uses. For more information on YMW's Wowza-powered suite of services, visit www.ymw.co.jp/wowzamedia/service.htm.
