Why SmartBooster is the solution for large-scale online videos distribution?
The era of online video entertainment is coming. Conservative predictions estimate the number of subscribers to IPTV services will rise from 3 million in 2005 to over 50 million in the next couple of years, while advertisers spending on online video advertising alone will be in the $5 billion range by 2010, more than doubling the $2.1 billion expected to be spent this year. There are tens of thousands of online video websites and thousands more are being developed. However, many of them are suffering from heavy-buying media servers and tremendous bandwidth usage. Traditional client-server video streaming architecture, in which all the clients retrieve data from the server, requiring thousands of media servers and consuming excessive bandwidth, is inefficient and too expensive to be deployed globally.
The cutting-edge P2P technology, in which clients can retrieve data from other clients, is able to reduce the burden of media servers and the bandwidth usage. However, some recent ventures request video content from the owners and create new websites and online channels for online video distribution. Some content owners are willing to show their content on such new websites or channels, but many more have already established and invested in their own video websites and online channels. What they need is a solution to make the online video streaming more efficient and cut down the running costs. Our software, SmartBooster is designed to cater to this need. It maximizes the download rate by taking advantage of the peer-to-peer and multithreading technologies. With our technology, you can reduce the number of media servers and the bandwidth usage. One of the most exciting features is that nothing will change on your website so that your previous investment can be saved. What is more,
