StreetInsider.com: Internap Enhances Industry-Leading CDN with Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Access

Excerpt:

Internap co-developed the P2P access service with Pando Networks, a leading provider of managed P2P media distribution services. Using Pando's Media Booster, a highly efficient, thin client for streaming full-screen HD (high definition) video, Internap is able to achieve the resource efficiencies and cost savings of P2P networking through a client that runs securely and transparently in the background on the viewer's computer. This P2P access method can be a more efficient and cost-effective delivery option for long-form video and large-volume files such as electronic software delivery (ESD) and can be easily combined with Internap's delivery solutions for Adobe Flash(TM) video and Windows Media(R) files.

The seamless integration of Pando's Media Booster with Internap's proven CDN means that digital media owners and enterprise applications can now enjoy a secure and reliable CDN solution with multiple access methods and Internap's MediaConsole(R), a complete toolset for managing, packaging and reporting on streaming content.
