Content Delivery Networks: Market Drivers & Challenges for Delivering Video

Aug. 18, 2008 - PRLog -- PALO ALTO, Calif. – The Information and Communication Technologies practice at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its 2008 Quarterly Analyst Briefing Presentation on the video delivery industry, to be held on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at 8:00 a.m. PDT.

With more content delivery networks (CDN) players in the market than ever before, trying to determine the best solution provider, what it offers, and how much it costs can still be quite complex. This presentation will offer real pricing numbers from large, globally-focused content delivery networks and show the average going rate when delivery is outsourced to a third party. The presentation will also cover the current market drivers, restraints and industry challenges specific to the video delivery industry.

This briefing will benefit content delivery network (CDN) solution providers, content creators, online video distributors, video application service providers, and others. Highlights of the briefing include analyses of CDN pricing, new CDN players, the size of the market opportunity in the U.S., the focus of telecommunications companies into the business, and P2P and hybrid networks.

"Over the past 18 months, content delivery networks (CDN) vendors have risen over $300 million in capital and have launched multiple new offerings to the market. With so many new options, trying to figure out what they offer, what you should pay, and what the size of the market opportunity is still very complex," observes Frost & Sullivan Prinicipal Analyst Dan Rayburn.
