Castify’s Software Delivers HDTV Content Across Germany

Val-U-Media confirms their confidence in Castify technology by ordering an additional 5000 licenses for Castify’s C-Terminal™ software, to be deployed in the delivery of High-Definition Television (HDTV) video content for Out-Of-Home viewing in doctors’ waiting rooms throughout Germany. Val-U-Media’s deployment of Castify’s software enables the timely and reliable delivery of large video files via satellite to Set- Top Boxes in a push-VOD model.

Is Your Email Getting There?

Of the three fundamental communication tools (phone, email, Web) used in business today, only email is limited in its size and scope. It’s easy for anyone to share information by making a long phone call or through very large web sites, but sending very large emails simply does not work. The limits to email is even more surprising when you consider that email has become the number one messaging tool on the Internet, with an estimated 35 billion emails traversing the Internet every day in 2005.

Castify Networks, the leading specialist in digital media delivery, recognizes the need to enable the delivery of very large digital contents using standard email. To this end, Castify has developed Mailonator, the only tool that truly enables the delivery of emails of any size using standard email tools such as Netscape, Outlook Express, or other common email client tools.

Mailonator will be released later in February 2005 and is available to enterprises and operators at http://www.mailonator.com.

Business TV: A Complete Solution At Last!

Despite advances in technology, most of today’s Business TV solutions are no farther advanced than they were three years ago. Many Fortune 2000 companies now recognize that their current Business TV solution is expensive, outdated and still does not deliver high quality media to all employees.

Today, the cost-efficient delivery of Business TV to PCs and screens to all locations of a global company via an integrated, streamlined solution is possible only with Castify’s EBN platform. All other known technologies to date can satisfy only one or the other of the three fundamental requirements of Business TV: Content creation, content distribution, and content display. Castify provides a complete, end-to- end solution that answers each requirement, thereby drastically reducing operational cost by eliminating the need to manage multiple, separate technologies. Castify’s open EBN platform integrates and manages live and on-demand Business TV contents to all members of the global audience, from creation, to delivery across any IP network, to final scheduling, playout, and automatic integration into a Web portal.
