Digital Fountain Leverages Amazon Web Services for CDN Offering

San Diego(25 Sep 2007)

Digital Fountain, Inc., a leading provider of advanced standardized solutions for digital media delivery, today announced it has selected Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) from Amazon Web Services as the infrastructure for its new TV-Quality CDN solution, which will be previewed today at DEMOfall 07 in San Diego. The company also unveiled the name of its new CDN offering ? Digital Fountain DF Splash ? which will launch early next year.

?By combining our proven, patented and standardized delivery technologies with Amazon EC2 we are able to offer an instant-on TV-quality user experience without the requirement of a costly edge infrastructure,? said Charlie Oppenheimer, CEO of Digital Fountain. ?In effect, our technology enables us to uniquely apply supply chain management strategies to achieve competitive advantage in the content delivery business.?

DF Splash is a CDN designed specifically for the delivery of high-quality streaming video with no video or audio degradation, and no buffering delays. Because DF Splash is highly immune to packet loss and latency, the company is afforded exceptional flexibility with respect to infrastructure deployment. This enables Digital Fountain to achieve scale and cost competitiveness without the hundreds of millions of dollars in capital investment normally required for CDN deployments.

?We?re excited to help Digital Fountain skip the heavy lifting and high price of admission required to have a web infrastructure that scales on demand,? said Steve Rabuchin, Director of Development Relations for Amazon Web Services. ?With the heavy lifting out of the way, Digital Fountain can focus on what they do best?working to provide a truly unique, game-changing solution for delivering video over the Internet.?

Amazon EC2 is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud, providing clients with complete control of their computing resources on Amazon?s proven, highly-scalable environment. Amazon EC2 also changes the economics of bandwidth consumption by allowing clients to pay only for the capacity they actually use.
