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.

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 ISPs; minimizing network traffic, while providing cost effective scalable content delivery.
