iStreamPlanet, a leader in live Internet managed broadcast services
including on-premise and cloud-based automated video workflow
solutions and applications, announced today that Interxion Holding
N.V. (NYSE: INXN), is making an investment in iStreamPlanet's
Series A round of funding being led by Intel Capital. Over the past
year the companies partnered to build out iStreamPlanet's European
broadcast operations centre inside Interxion's London Data Centre
(http://www.interxion.com/Data-Centres/London/) media hub enabling
content owners and distributors to securely digitize, publish and
monetize their media assets whilst delivering the highest quality
end user experience.
"We are pleased to have Interxion as an investor and strategic
partner to help solve the tremendous complexities associated with
scaling the entire digital media infrastructure, platform and
services," said Mio Babic, CEO of iStreamPlanet. "Interxion's
strategically located and interconnected data centres, combined
with their media community, will play a key role as access points
for our next generation of video workflow products and
services."
Working from their facility in Interxion's London data centre,
iStreamPlanet has already successfully managed several major
sporting events, including the French Open, Championships at
Wimbledon, UEFA Under 21 Championships and Tour de France.
iStreamPlanet uses facilities at Interxion's 28 data centres across
11 countries as access points for iStreamPlanet's video workflow
automation platform. The geographical footprint allows customers
throughout Europe to identify the closest data centre to ingest and
digitize their content. Interxion's scale provides iStreamPlanet's
customers the ability to ingest more content, not only on a greater
scale, but with far greater savings due to geographical proximity.
iStreamPlanet's customers also benefit from reduced communication
costs by eliminating the need for real-time satellite
transmission.
"We have a footprint that gives us access to approximately 75%
European GDP and one of the fastest growing market segments is
digital media," said David Ruberg, Chairman and CEO of Interxion.
"Over the past year, while working with iStreamPlanet, we have seen
their commitment to excellence along with their ability to execute
and deliver with the highest performance on some of the world's
most complex digital media events. Our data centres are some of the
world's most media-friendly, which is why we are seeing strong
growth in our media community. By having iStreamPlanet's products
and services available, we expect to accelerate adoption of video
usage throughout our customer-base and attract new content
providers into our data centres."
iStreamPlanet will use the funds from the investment to further
expand its presence in Europe as well as accelerate product
development. Additionally, iStreamPlanet is proud to announce that
Robin Cole is joining the company as VP of Product and Services
Marketing. Prior to iStreamPlanet, Robin lead worldwide strategy
and business development for Sony Electronics, product marketing at
Apple across the MacBook portfolio and most recently held senior
marketing roles at Microsoft across several leading products and
technologies including Windows Media, Windows Phone, and Expression
and Visual Studio.
