Sep 9, 2008 : Highwinds Partners with Daydream

📅 September 9, 2008 - European digital asset management provider Daydream (daydream.co.uk) announced on Tuesday it has partnered with IP services and content distribution provider Highwinds (highwinds.com -> stackpath.com) to offer high volume digital asset delivery by integrating Daydream's FocusOPEN DAM platform directly into the Highwinds CDN.


The partnership follows last week's Highwinds announcement where the company negotiated equity financing backing from venture capital firm European Founders Fund for expansion into Europe.

"Highwinds has all the core features that we would expect from a CDN service provider," says Ralph Windsor, managing director of Daydream. "Their RollingThunder global network is robust and has the very high levels of capacity that our corporate client base requires, but their flexibility and can-do attitude are really what convinced us to partner with them."

Daydream is using Highwinds' RollingThunder private network, the backbone of their CDN, to facilitate large scale digital asset delivery.

In particular, Highwinds will help distribute Daydream's video content and print files to large numbers of users simultaneously.

In turn, Daydream's digital asset management platform enables new Highwinds CDN to enter new markets, enabling the seamless integration between asset management and delivery services for corporate clients and institutions.

Highwinds offers a range of supporting tools and documentation, enabling Daydream to focus on adding value for its customers. 

Daydream offers digital asset management and media asset management systems in the UK. Its FocusOPEN DAM technologies have been implemented by over 30 global organizations including Major League Baseball, WS Atkins, Shell and Credit Suisse.

Highwinds provides multi-platform IP services, file replication, and content delivery software and services, including messaging bus architecture, network management, distributed file systems and content routing methods.
