Pando and
PeerApp partner to enable Internet Service Providers to accelerate delivery of video and other digital media published by Pando's peer-assisted content delivery platform, improving consumers' experience while reducing network congestion. The partnership provides the first solution that lets content providers, content aggregators and service providers collaborate in peer-to-peer content delivery and share the benefits.
The partnership integrates Pando's industry-leading managed peer-to-peer distribution services with PeerApp's peer-to-peer acceleration and caching solutions for ISPs.
Content providers and aggregators have been adopting P2P for delivery of premium video content. Service providers play a critical role in video content delivery because they control the "last mile" to their subscribers. The cooperative approach provided by the Pando-PeerApp partnership satisfies subscribers' demand for high-quality video content, content providers' interest in broad distribution, and ISPs' desire to play a more active role in content distribution.
Pando's managed P2P network delivers more data daily than any other P2P network of its kind. The PeerApp technology is being optimized for Pando-delivered content, enabling wire-speed delivery without requiring ISPs to invest in additional bandwidth or to restrict P2P content.
With this partnership, PeerApp is introducing a commercial P2P service that accelerates and caches P2P video and ensures its high-quality delivery. As an alternative to traffic mitigation and throttling that degrade peer-to-peer services, PeerApp's technology provides traffic management that accelerates media content delivery while improving the quality of experience for P2P and non-P2P consumers alike. Deployed globally, PeerApp's technology is already improving the quality of experience for millions of broadband consumers.
