British streaming media mydeo.com using Windows Azure

Mydeo, an award-winning UK streaming media and content distributor, recently announced that its new version of the platform will be based on the new Windows Azure platform, with the new version scheduled to complete its version test in the second quarter of 2011.　　Shortly before the announcement, Mydeo's development team at Microsoft Technology Center (MTC) in the UK had just attended a two-week Windows Azure Concept Certification seminar, which was published on Microsoft's popular Developer Network, Channel 9. Mydeo, chief executive and co-founder of Cary Marsh, said: "The use of the Azure platform is of great commercial benefit." This platform not only provides us with great flexibility to develop further innovative capabilities for our growing customer base, but also saves a significant amount of cost from a host hosting environment to a cloud-based infrastructure transfer. "Mydeo.com formed an alliance with Limelight NX in 2008 to provide European companies with a more flexible low-cost solution to distribute content through Limeligh NX Content distribution Network (CDN). "It is because the Windows Azure platform has infinitely expanded processing capabilities that the billions of logs we receive from Limelight can now be converted efficiently and accurately into fine-grained statistics that our customers need," Cary said. "The work of proof of concept helps to find new ways to analyze the massive real-time information from streaming media and content distribution networks, providing a flexible, dynamic platform to create a new set of services for customers." "We want to release a new version of the platform and add important new features," explains Richard Parker, Mydeo's development director. Windows Azure is a reasonable choice because it allows us to do so without worrying about the infrastructure. Mydeo processing a large number of log files every day, on the basis of the expansion of our dedicated hardware is a problem. Not only did we have a good time working with the Microsoft developer in the UK, but the results in a very short timeframe proved that we could use Windows Azure to handle more data at a lower cost, expand indefinitely, and increase fault tolerance. "We are fortunate to work with a company that really wants to innovate and meet the next challenge," said David Gristwood, who works with Microsoft's lead concept. The development team designed a solution in a very short time, and this solution means that they can expand almost indefinitely for the first time. Whether the storage function or processing function, Mydeo can be used according to their own needs, want to use how much, so as to meet the needs. Their solutions deal with massive amounts of data every day, and the extensibility of the Azure platform means that they canThe need for data in the evolving business.

With a self-service online suite, Mydeo provides powerful, scalable content distribution capabilities for many businesses through the limelight NX Content distribution Network (CDN).　　There are no minimum contracts, only flexible monthly pay programs and free advanced online reporting tools.　　In October 2007, Mydeo announced that Best Buy, the largest consumer electronics retailer in the United States, had a minority stake in Mydeo, which would use the Mydeo platform for its own customized video hosting service.
