- VitalStream has won Streaming magazine's third annual Reader's Choice Award for Best Content Delivery Network.
"It is incredible to see who's selected once our accounting department tabulates the results," said Streaming publisher Eric Rhodes. "Sometimes, we suspect a winner; other times it surprises our entire staff. Readers use or watch the programs or products mentioned, so it is an important contest to win."
Executive editor Peggy Miles said in a statement that Streaming's awards are definitive for those whose stock in trade includes streaming and Webcasting. "The Reader's Choice Awards tells us what's on the minds of our readers, who they're using, who they like, and why," Miles said. "Over the years, the majority of all winners continue to dominate, grow, and lead in the streaming marketplace."
Streaming gave Reader's Choice Awards in 16 categories, including streaming broadcast, enterprise streaming, consumer streaming, best hard- and software, best player, and best streaming wireless program, among others.
VitalStream chief executive officer Paul Summers thanked the magazine's voting readers. "The award is meaningful because it came from those people who are on the front lines of successfully deploying the latest streaming technologies," he said in a statement. "This award affirms our mission to be the leader in the streaming media space."
Rhodes said voting from around the world, "especially from Asia and Europe," increased significantly for the third annual awards.
VitalStream and all other Streaming Reader's Choice winners were scheduled to be honored formally April 8 during a reception at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas. For more information about VitalStream, visit the company’s Website or call 1-(800) 254-7554.
