Dec, 2002 : Loudeye Wins Microsoft Hosting Certification

📅 December 30, 2002 - Webcasting and digital media solutions provider Loudeye Corp. (loudeye.com) announced last week that its hosting and content delivery network options have been certified by Microsoft's Windows Media 9 Series Hosting Provider Certification Program.

Announced December 19 by Microsoft, the program is designed to help content companies identify hosting providers with expertise and reliable networks for delivering Windows Media 9 Series content.
Loudeye says it is among the first companies to receive the certification, and was required to pass a set of tests and evaluation criteria, examining the company's end-to-end support for Windows Media 9 Series and measuring the quality and reliability of streams delivered across its network.
"It's a great honor to be among the first recognized by Microsoft for the quality and reliability of our infrastructure in delivering Windows Media 9 Series streams," says Joel McConaughy, Loudeye's chief technology officer. "Windows Media 9 Series offers a range of benefits to content owners, including fast streaming and lower delivery costs, which we believe could be key catalysts for the continued deployment of digital media."
