The Pando Content Delivery Suite is a set of software and services needed to publish, distribute, track and monetize Pando-enabled content on your site. Pando-enabling your content unleashes the unused collective bandwidth of your audience to offload bandwidth demand from your central CDN servers, thus cutting your bandwidth bill and boosting your media monetization margins. The more viewers you have, the larger, better performing and more cost efficient your distributed content delivery network becomes. The Pando Content Delivery Suite functions as a transparent front-end to your existing CDN, without any configuration or additional hardware required.

- Pando Publisher - the control center of the Pando Content Delivery Suite, Pando Publisher is a web-based content management system and robust API that enables content owners to easily publish and track P2P streaming and downloadable media from their own CMS media console.
- Pando Media Booster - powering Pando's P2P video streaming capabilities is this lite, UI-less desktop client that intelligently multi-sources streams for optimal performance and cost effeciency.

Benefits
1. Save Money. A lot.
Pando's Peer-Assisted Content Delivery solution works with your existing CDN seamlessly, without any configuration, to intelligently offload peak bandwidth to your Peer Cloud, enabling the delivery of true HD video (1080p) to an unlimited number of simultaneous viewers at zero incremental cost. Initial deployments have achieved over 90% delivery cost savings as peer-assisted delivery reached 100% efficiency after only a few dozen copies of the media being consumed were served by web servers.
2. No More Overages
 The Pando and Pando Media Booster clients support both P2P and HTTP, dynamically alternating between delivery protocols to maintain uninterrupted delivery optimized for cost and performance throughout the content demand curve. As your content becomes more popular, more of the bandwidth demand is moved off of your HTTP servers and onto to your audience "Peer Cloud". This "CDN Peering" technology protects you from bursting beyond your committed throughput with your CDN service provider, and works with any CDN, without any configuration or additional hardware. Delivery options include peer-assisted streaming, on-demand downloads and automated RSS-based downloads.
3. Accelerated Performance, Massive Scalability
As the number of consumers that stream or download your media increases, so does the number of sources of that media. This direct correlation of demand and supply ensures that your media will be delivered at optimal speed and reliability regardless of popular it becomes. Need to stream an HD video or download a 1GB game patch to millions of peope simultaneously? Pando was designed specifically to handle such Server-crushing scenarios.
4. Go HD!
Peer-Assisted Content Delivery enables you to unleash the breathtaking impact of your highest resolution, full-screen, long-form video. Videos can be downloaded for optimal local playback or multi-sourced streamed online. Regardless of video file size, you incur no incremental delivery costs. With Pando, there's no need to degrade your video quality to save money. Its time to go HD!
5. Proactively Engage and Learn From Your Audience
Having a presence on the desktop opens many opportunities to communicate with and learn from your consumers. With Pando you can unobtrusively deliver content and promotions to consumer desktops (with their permission) and track their behavioral impact. Ever wonder what demographic segment of your audience loves and shares your content the most? Would like to engage and reward the enthusiasts that syndicate your content for you? Want to know how many times your downloadable media was viewed on a portable device or when your consumers where offline?
