Overview

Velocix was founded in 2003 in the university town of Cambridge, UK and is a leading authority and innovator in the field of digital content delivery over the Internet. The company has a proven track record of bringing unique and exciting technologies to market that ‘assist’ the Internet and improve delivery performance, in particular for large multi-GB media assets.

Velocix is revolutionizing the way digital video and other rich-media assets are distributed over the Internet Protocol with an advanced content-delivery solution designed specifically for service providers. With Velocix, service providers can deploy an advanced digital delivery platform that builds on their existing network investments and assets.

Once installed, service providers are perfectly positioned to capitalize on growing consumer demand for high-quality video and rich media delivered over fixed and wireless broadband connections. With Velocix, service providers are fully equipped to launch new revenue-generating premium-content services to their subscribers at reduced cost, while also achieving highly differentiated delivery performance levels.

A Velocix-enabled service provider is able to become part of the value chain of digital content delivery as a premium content distribution and retail channel. Velocix provides the tools required to tap into the intrinsic value of their existing network assets and consumer relationships by allowing service providers to gain substantial commercial and quality of service (QoS) advantages in the rapidly growing market for online and on-net video and rich-media services. Content producers gain a distribution and retail channel for their premium content they can truly rely on.

Entering the content value chain with the Velocix Digital Media Delivery Platform

Velocix allows service providers to deploy their own advanced digital-delivery capability in a matter of weeks. This helps address the fundamental cost and scalability challenges to their established business models caused by increasing operating costs associated with rapid growth in consumer IP traffic as a result of digital media consumption.

Velocix provides content-awareness by means of an intelligent and distributed content caching and delivery architecture that allows network providers to optimize investments between transport and storage capacity. Now, popular content will automatically be cached closer to consumers to reduce transport cost, while less popular content remains in more centralized storage nodes deeper in the network to achieve better storage economies. The benefits are far lower transport cost and an improved delivery quality.
