BitGravity Gets to the Punch Line With CollegeHumor.com
CollegeHumor.com Selects BitGravity’s Content Delivery Network to Provide High-Definition Video Sharing and Object Delivery
BURLINGAME, CA–(EMWNews – August 14, 2008) – BitGravity, Inc., provider of
next-generation Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for interactive
broadcasting, and CollegeHumor.com, the definitive source for irreverent
student humor and co-ed pop culture, today announced a partnership wherein
BitGravity will provide high-definition object and video delivery for the
CollegeHumor website. BitGravity’s high-definition, fast-loading content
delivery provides an unprecedented high-quality experience for CollegeHumor
fans. In addition, BitGravity’s scalability and competitive pricing made it
the first choice for CollegeHumor’s growing need for a new delivery network
capable of supporting their galleries of images and videos.
“CollegeHumor has a rapidly growing fan base and BitGravity’s highly
scalable platform is exactly what we needed to deliver the highest quality
video and user experience,” said Kunal Shah, VP of Technology for
CollegeHumor. “CollegeHumor is thrilled to be using BitGravity’s
state-of-the-art technology to solidify our presence as a mainstay for
collegiate entertainment on the Internet.”
“Timing and delivery is everything in comedy, and we’re pleased to provide
CollegeHumor viewers an unmatched user experience, including a quick start
with no delay or buffering and HD quality video,” said Perry Wu, CEO of
BitGravity. “BitGravity’s delivery ensures that CollegeHumor users can view
and share content at unparalleled speed and quality.”
BitGravity’s network is based on optimized routing methodology and network
innovations and is over four times faster than other leading CDNs. It was
purpose-built by seasoned technologists with extensive expertise in global
technology infrastructures, systems engineering and application
development, allowing maximum performance through a much smaller and more
nimble network than typical CDNs.
