Brian Lillie, CIO for Equinix, shares that creating a video culture is a top priority for Equinix and gives the globally diverse company a significant communications edge. "Next to face-to-face interaction, video is the ultimate form of communication. We are looking to live video and video on demand as an important new communication channel to help us connect more personally with employees as well as facilitate training, employee meetings and many other uses. And as video becomes more ubiquitous throughout our company, we knew that we'd need a complete video infrastructure in place that could grow with our needs. We adopted Kontiki's video solution portfolio based on ROI, scalability and ease of use."

Global enterprises, content and financial companies, and more than 350 network service providers rely upon Equinix to protect and connect their most valued information assets. Equinix operates 45 International Business Exchange(TM) (IBX(R)) data centers across 18 markets in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Gartner analyst Joe Skorupa writes in his recent report(1) that "enterprises rely increasingly on rich media to communicate with, inspire and train employees, both on and off the enterprise network. Advances in peer-assisted technologies are providing an alternative to traditional appliance-based ECDNs." He also says that "the maturation of enterprise-class peer-assisted protocols and the associated administrative and management functions provide a low-cost, very quick to deploy option."

The Kontiki Delivery Management System is a practical and proven solution for Enterprise Content Delivery Networking that is already used every day by hundreds of thousands of global workers in many of the world's largest companies in the financial services, retail, technology, telecommunications and manufacturing market sectors.

-- Enterprise-class P2P: all of the benefits of distributed delivery, with full IT security, management and control; no file-sharing, just efficient video delivery to the desktop

-- No impact on existing network traffic: Kontiki adaptive throttling technology assures that none of your existing network traffic is negatively impacted; Kontiki always gets out of the way

-- Scales as your video use evolve: peer-assisted technology actually increases in capacity and speed as more desktops are added

-- No hardware or bandwidth upgrades: leverages existing servers and desktops and does not require additional caching, routing or other equipment

-- Enterprise-class management control: end-to-end security with access control, encrypted delivery, and single sign-on; detailed usage and network delivery reporting; central management keeps IT in control

-- Global customers deployment in days: rolled out to all employees in every location in days or weeks versus months or years that traditional hardware approaches take

-- Proven solution and customer base: successfully delivered and received over 100 million videos with 99.9% hosted uptime SLA

"Kontiki was built from the ground up to deliver video and we have gained years of insight from large enterprises users on what works and what doesn't work. With our large customer base we believe Kontiki is the proven P2P leader and the most practical enterprise content delivery networking solution," concluded Wade Hennessey, Chief Technology Officer for Kontiki.
