Velocix and Kontiki are partnering to extend their market leading solutions for web delivery of large digital assets, including video, software and games. Under the terms of the partnership, Velocix will provide a hosted version of the Kontiki Delivery Management System within its Global Digital Asset Delivery Network, providing new deployment options for Kontiki customers and prospects.

As Kontiki's preferred CDN partner, Velocix will provide Kontiki customers with additional opportunity to subscribe to the Kontiki service, as an alternative to owning and operating the application and hardware themselves. This gives Kontiki customers flexibility and choice of deployment models in accessing the benefits of P2P web delivery.

Both organizations share a common view of the economic and scalability benefits that Hybrid P2P based solutions offer over traditional delivery systems. Velocix and Kontiki are world leaders in the use of P2P technology with many of the largest broadcasters and new media companies around the globe already taking advantage of these benefits.

Hybrid P2P solutions offer unparalleled levels of digital delivery performance at significantly reduced cost. The combination of a high performance CDN with advanced P2P delivery technology results in a 'hybrid' solution where delivery costs are minimized and performance service level guarantees are enhanced.

Velocix and Kontiki are globally recognized leaders in the delivery of large digital assets, using innovative P2P techniques. Kontiki licenses its DMS technology to its customers who then deploy it on their own I.T. systems. Velocix operates a global CDN, offering digital delivery services on a subscription basis.

Velocix and Kontiki also plan to collaborate jointly on new developments that create the next generation of P2P technologies and solutions that meet the ongoing needs of the world's leading ISPs; minimizing network traffic, while providing cost effective scalable content delivery.
