LOS ANGELES— The Digital Development Group Corp. (DIDG), a Los Angeles-based online content aggregator, announced today that it has "signed a deal with Amazon's AWS (Amazon Web Services), for AWS to be DIDG's exclusive content delivery network (CDN) provider." DDIG provides a broad selection of content across a number of platforms, said CEO Martin W. Greenwald.
"This is a very important agreement for us," added Greenwald of the deal. "Effective and efficient delivery of content through all our platforms, Apple, Android, Roku and the Internet are cornerstones to the growth of our business. This agreement guarantees DIDG access to Amazon's world-class global network of servers and storage as well as content management systems available only to their clients."
Using AWS should provide much-needed stability for the company, said Greenwald, who explained, "In the past 2 weeks we have experienced a 'glitch' in our delivery system and now with Amazon's help, we are rapidly getting the Movie and Music Network back to full capacity. In addition to the channels we currently have, we've begun the process of uploading hundreds of additional titles. We are also redesigning our websites with the latest innovations to make the user experience as friendly and easy as possible."
In the announcement, Greenwald also announced plans to expand their adult entertainment offerings. "We now have two networks up and running, (movieandmusicnetwork.com and 99CentNetwork.com), and are looking forward to the launch of our new network in February, 'Miracle Stream,' which will aggregate multiple studios in the adult entertainment industry under our roof," he said. "When launched, Miracle Stream will give users the ability to stream hundreds of hours of adult content from the classics of the 1970's to the latest releases of 2015."
Currently, the Movie & Music Network contains a handful of adult channels, including InsideAdult, The Erotica Channel and Pink EIGA.
Greenwald added of his expectations for the coming year, "I anticipate that 2015 will be a banner year for DIDG. The incredible growth of Internet streaming continues, and is an exploding platform throughout the world. Working now with Amazon gives us great comfort knowing that our products will always be available through AWS's reliability, strong worldwide presence, and cost effectiveness that will translate positively to our shareholders and customers."
