NEW YORK, NEW YORK, August 17, 1998 – Globix Corporation (Nasdaq: GBIX) a leading provider of total Internet-based solutions for businesses announced the addition of two accomplished live-event producers to the organization. The two new members, Dan Rayburn, (formerly a principal at a major live-events production company) and Chris Kelly (formerly Director of New Media Services at Irving Plaza) add extensive expertise and experience to the Globix media team. Over the last four years, as pioneers in the field, they have produced some of the largest and most complex cutting-edge online events. They also have helped to spearhead The Macintosh New York Music Festival and The Intel New York Music Festival. Now at Globix, they will specialize in live event production and offer full turnkey solutions for audio and video streaming on the Internet.

With Dan and Chris joining the team, Globix will offer all formats of streaming media on the World Wide Web using the latest technologies, including RealVideo and RealAudio from RealNetworks and other solutions, such as NetShow, QuickTime, LiquidAudio, a2b and Emblaze. Globix will provide live event production, on-demand encoding, stream hosting, bandwidth and streaming media consulting. This will make Globix the only total integrated turnkey streaming solutions provider. The Globix team will leverage its extensive technology capabilities and the expertise of Dan and Chris in the live events field to provide corporate clients with distance learning applications and to broadcast cutting edge music events for the entertainment industry.

“The growth in demand for live streaming of audio and video over the Web is extraordinary. These two pros have been on the forefront of that explosive growth. We are extremely pleased to welcome them to our team. The addition of the talents of Dan and Chris to our media group and to the Globix Corporation enhances the total package of Internet services we provide to the business customer,” Marc H. Bell, Globix President and CEO said.

Dan Rayburn said, “The streaming media and live netcast market is exploding and it offers tremendous growth opportunities. Globix , with all its Internet expertise, is an ideal match for Chris and myself, the perfect place to utilize our experience and to reach this rapidly growing, yet underserved market.”
