Your “can do” video delivery network and media software team

Advection.NET's Video Delivery Network is your most rapid, flexible, and cost effective path to success with streaming media and video downloads. For less than the cost of a single employee, you can benefit from our experience delivering over five billion streams, from ten international datacenters, to delighted viewers over the past five years.

World-class expertise, amazing value

To get ahead, you need revolutionary media business models, built on a solid foundation of superior industry knowledge. You have to implement and deliver ahead of time and under budget. As a Windows Media Premier Certified Hosting Provider, we get it.

We originally built this VDN for CDNs needing streaming video to supplement their web hosting services. Private labeling for top CDNs requires rock solid performance, great APIs, expert support, and wholesale pricing. Now, we're making these building blocks available to you.

Whether you want to build a Windows Media HD movie superstore, or launch the next YouTube for 200 million users, we're your developers, and this is your VDN.

Easy uploading and storage

Getting content onto your VDN couldn't be easier. You don't need to learn another complicated Control Panel—from Windows XP or Mac OS, just map a drive to us, then drag-and-drop your files.

Easy encoding

Don't know anything about encoding? No problem. Our servers can convert your media for you, into Windows Media, QuickTime, Flash, H.264, DivX, or Microsoft's new Silverlight.

Easy digital rights management

When you need it, we will even automatically safeguard your paid media with Windows Media DRM, just by dropping your files onto the VDN.

Easy linking or embedding

We'll generate your media metafiles on the fly, or give you the HTML you need to embed videos in your web page with a simple cut and paste.

Your content, where your users are

Our clients deliver digital video to PCs, TVs, set-top boxes, consoles, and even elevators or taxis. Traditional CDNs were built for web pages and image files, but our VDN was designed for high definition video. We offer true streaming, like Windows Media "Fast Start", or Flash video that lets you jump ahead without having to wait for the whole file.

Home media, downloads, P2P, and podcasts

If you want broader compatibility than streaming, we'll also help you serve "progressive downloads" the way social media sites like Daily Motion, YouTube, or Metacafe do. Speaking of compatibility, we also host Silverlight, which works in IE and Firefox on both Windows PCs and Macs.

If your audience is into peer-to-peer downloading, your same downloadable media can be automatically seeded to BitTorrent, compatible with the most popular P2P client software users already have installed.

We've heard this iPod podcasting is pretty popular too, so you can have the VDN automatically generate an RSS syndication feed from any media you upload.

Give ’em what they want, they’ll give back more

The fastest way to grow an audience is to get them involved, but social media sites that work for a fast growing audience are challenging to build. We've taken our wholesale VDN expertise at high performance APIs, and developed a comprehensive set of web services for building media content and social community sites.

The Advection Media Platform—we call it "AMP"—gives you tremendous scalability based on the best practices of sites like Flickr, YouTube, LiveJournal, or Amazon.com, backed by our 24/7 network operations center.

You'll get a more cost-effective time to market with these social media building blocks for user and media management; community interaction like ratings, comments, or blogs; security including parental controls or rights protections; advertising; and great searching and tagging. It's all easily accessible through SOAP, XML-RPC, JSON, or REST APIs.

Focus on your brand and business model, and let us take care of the heavy lifting.

We believe online video should make you money, so we offer everything you need for business models such as ad revenue, memberships, subscriptions, purchased downloads, video rentals, even pay-per-view and pay-per-minute, especially in Windows Media and Silverlight.

Turnkey media stores and billing for digital media

Don't want to build your own? Need to have a digital media store up in a few weeks or less? Use our turn-key media store that works in popular browsers and lets you sell both video and audio.

The tools and the store tie easily to your existing Verisign or Google Checkout accounts, or you can opt for our partner's integrated billing, card processing with fraud scrubbing, and personal end-user support.

Fast track to your own media platform

Our value added media delivery tools have been used for the past five years by the largest CDNs and media customers of our wholesale services, so they've been stress tested and refined under heavy use.

Scalable and cost-effective tool set

For our private label customers, we've delivered over five billion Windows Media video-on-demand and live streams, served petabytes of media in a month, hosted live events with 200,000 simultaneous viewers, and broadcast 3,000 live events at a time.

Why risk buying commodity bandwidth and rolling your own tools, when you can private label our VDN? Use our proven APIs backstopped by 15 years of online media expertise, measurable accountability, a 24/7 team of 75 engineers, and another 250 media savvy programmers ready to focus on your project so you can focus on your business.
