NEW YORK, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Panvidea™, a global leader in technology-enabled digital media services, has today announced that it has selected Joyent's Smart Technology infrastructure to serve as the underlying computing architecture of its instantly scalable professional video service. SwitchCloud I.C.E (the United States Inter-Cloud Exchange) will host the technology that supports this joint initiative.
This move strengthens Panvidea's position as the leading provider of cloud-based video processing and distribution tools for the professional content community and builds on the enhanced broadcast-ready feature set that has already attracted the attention of major clients including A&E Television Networks, FOX Broadcasting Company and Getty Images.
Joyent SmartMachines are optimized for software applications, instead of being designed to replicate hardware. The company's integrated stack of enterprise-class technologies is designed to improve application performance, solve capacity problems and reduce costs for business-critical applications. Joyent's customers include social gaming platform operator Kabam, social network LinkedIn, and online retail giant Gilt Groupe.
"We selected Joyent because they are the only cloud infrastructure company that has built a complete technology stack from the ground up to support a major public cloud solution," said Panvidea co-founder and CEO, Chris Cali. "Their innovative technology will allow us to offer our customers significantly improved video processing performance, scalability and reliability, along with the rock solid security and fiber channel connectivity provided by our partners at Switch."
"We are excited that Panvidea has selected us to be their infrastructure partner," said Joyent CEO David Young. "The union of these three leaders in enterprise services represents an unprecedented collection of resources, technologies, and expertise that promises to transform the way in which content owners prepare their video content for multi-screen distribution."
The Switch SuperNAP – the world's most efficient, high density, ultra-scale data center – serves as the foundation for SwitchCloud I.C.E and will provide the colocation, bandwidth, and connectivity for Panvidea's enhanced video service. The SuperNAP's unique blend of world class collocation, the most advanced cloud computing platforms, and fiber-rich communication gateway will provide Panvidea's customers with immediate access to unparalleled mission critical infrastructure.
"The world's leading content companies and advertisers will have easy access to Panvidea's enterprise level media services," said Rob Roy, CEO of Switch. "This is a great example of how companies benefit from Joyent's smart computing delivered from SwitchCloud I.C.E to achieve new service benchmarks with high performance cloud platforms."
