Chosen As Windows Media Technologies Provider
of the Month
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, October 8th, 1998 – Globix Corporation (NASDAQ: GBIX), a leading Internet Service Provider and one-stop supplier of total Internet solutions for businesses and Windows Media Technologies provider has been selected by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) as the service provider of the month for October, 1998. Microsoft carefully reviews the quality of streaming broadcasts produced by Windows Media Technologies providers (formerly NetShow Service providers) and their ability to integrate Windows Media Technologies-based solutions. Each month, one company is selected and offered recognition for its ability to broadcast live and on-demand streaming media content with Windows Media Technologies.
Globix Corporation’s recent broadcasts of high-traffic Web
events such as the Clinton Grand Jury testimony for CBS and the
Ironman competition – combined with the expertise of the Globix
Streaming Media Group made Globix a prime choice to be
selected as the service provider of the month.
The Globix Streaming Media Group is extremely pleased
by the award; since their work takes place behind the scenes, it can
be easily overlooked. Dan Rayburn, Manager of the Globix
Streaming Media Group Worldwide said, “Our job is not to be noticed.
We create broadcasts with a seamless flow of information from the
live event to the screens of Web-viewers. The ability to produce this
level of service by stream hosting with Windows Media Technologies
like NetShow Services is very important to us. We’re happy our level
of expertise was recognized and that we can provide the exceptional
Windows Media Solutions to our clients.” The Globix Streaming
Media Group was created to enhance the level of Globix
streaming solutions. The exceptional background of group’s members
ensures innovative, quality solutions for live net events.
“Globix is a top provider of Windows Media Services for both
Internet and intranet customers,” said Gary Schare, lead product manager,
Microsoft Corp. “Globix has done a great job of supporting
leading customers of Windows Media technologies like CNBC/Dow Jones
Business Video and also did an outstanding job providing additional
bandwidth to customers of Windows Media Technologies for the Clinton
videos. We are pleased to make Globix the service provider
of the month and look forward to working closely with them on other
compelling projects like the Ironman event.”
The selection of Globix by Microsoft exemplifies the quality
and innovative solutions that Globix Corporation
offers. The recognition also reflects the ways in which Globix
is expanding to provide customers with a one-stop answer to all their
Internet needs. Part of the Globix expansion includes the opening
of new data centers in California and London, heralding the beginning
of worldwide service.
