NaviSite Ushers in the Next-Generation of Content Delivery and AccelerationDesigned for Today\'s Content and Business Requirements, NaviSite\'s Content Delivery & Acceleration Services Deliver the Complete End-User Experience Sought by Market-Moving Enterprises
NaviSite (NASDAQ: NAVI), a leading provider of application management, professional services, and secure content delivery solutions for enterprises, today announced its vision for the next-generation of content delivery and the advancement of its Content Delivery and Acceleration Services (CDN). Optimized for today\'s dynamic content and business requirements, NaviSite\'s CDN extends beyond the network to drive rich media and application content into the hands of customers, partners and other end users for maximum business value.
Today\'s business context for content delivery is very different from five or 10 years ago, driven by increased sophistication in the types of content that need to be delivered and the devices on which that content is viewed. First-generation content delivery networks were designed primarily to ease network congestion caused by the delivery of static web pages through congested public peering points. With advancements in broadband technology, the proliferation of private optical peering, and high-speed fiber optic networks, these legacy networks are now burdened with supporting an unnecessary technology infrastructure not designed for the more proactive delivery capabilities demanded by today\'s dynamic data and global audiences.
NaviSite\'s Content Delivery & Acceleration: The Next-Generation Content Delivery Solution
NaviSite\'s CDN is the first, next-generation content delivery solution designed specifically to meet the content and business requirements driven by "virtual" collaboration amongst end-users (remote, mobile, fixed, etc.); new and highly competitive global markets; the need for 24x7 "anytime/anywhere" access to all content types; and the ability to move content across the entire delivery chain (from the disk on which it sits to the device on which it is viewed). NaviSite uses advancements in the Internet backbone, the Company\'s unique intelligent delivery technologies, and its extensive expertise in critical supporting services -- hosting, Ecommerce site development, application management, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and infrastructure management -- to deliver a holistic solution for getting content into the hands of end users rapidly, efficiently, and flexibly.
"Our experience and vision place us at a unique point within this new content delivery landscape," said Doug Mow, VP of Marketing, NaviSite. "As we began to envision what a next-generation CDN would look like, we drew upon our customer experiences and the technology and expertise from everything NaviSite has built and acquired in the past 10 years, from hosting to application management to SaaS. In doing so, we were able to develop a next-generation content delivery framework from the customer point of view; one designed for today\'s business context that puts NaviSite in the market leadership position as the only company offering a holistic CDN solution for today and the future."
Much more than just an optimized delivery pipe, the CDNs of today must be multifaceted service delivery platforms, created to provide users with the best experience possible and designed to handle dynamic content beyond just cached static files. These solutions need to combine a number of key components beyond basic delivery to include business decision support, an open and flexible platform, end-to-end delivery perspective, and a choice in services -- such as a shared or dedicated network -- to ensure content is available and accessible with the required control, integration capability, and flexibility needed to drive a company\'s business.
NaviSite\'s CDN offers other advantages that existing first-generation networks cannot, including:
-- Better Price for Performance -- Using a next-generation architecture,
NaviSite\'s CDN offers a flexible, cost-effective solution for all companies
that optimizes the delivery path, facilitates dynamic content distribution;
and charges customers only for what they use (and not for maintaining the
infrastructure) to meet this key business metric;
-- Open Systems -- Built on an open systems platform, NaviSite\'s CDN
eliminates the "force-fitting" typically required by first-generation
networks and easily operates within the context of a company\'s back-end
systems;
-- Choice -- NaviSite can cost-effectively offer a shared or dedicated
network infrastructure, giving companies more options and more control over
how to address their business needs;
-- Complete Business Support -- NaviSite supports the complete spectrum
of business operations -- not just the "network" component -- to tie in the
CDN to whatever application, security software, or program necessary to
support the business, regardless of location; and
-- Proprietary Delivery Technologies -- NaviSite utilizes its own
advanced network-level delivery technologies, including HotRoute® for
intelligent network routing; DeltaEdge(SM) for efficient delivery of
dynamic content based in content "deltas" or changes; and InSync(SM) for
the proactive "push" of content to end users at a defined time.
Clear Evolution Path
By focusing on the complete solution required for the networked economy and customers\' current and long-term business needs, NaviSite\'s CDN is built to grow toward a new compute and delivery fabric that does not have an application bias, CDN bias, or infrastructure bias. In the future, grid computing, content delivery, and application delivery will converge, creating tomorrow\'s intelligent networks that will facilitate "Whenever/Wherever/Whatever" access to both content and computing resources for the ultimate efficiency in delivery and utilization of electronic assets, whatever they may be. Further, as these three technology categories become one, service providers will be required to provide expertise and capabilities across the complete technology value chain -- infrastructure, applications, and network -- to enable clients to fully leverage the benefits that this vision has to offer.

Scientific Research Society Enters Internet Age With NaviSite\'s Complete CDN Solution for Content Streaming
The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) Can Now Provide Worldwide Member Base Access to Important Meeting Presentations in Real-TimeNaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a leading provider of application management, professional services, and secure content delivery solutions for enterprises in the middle market, today announced that The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) has selected NaviSite\'s Content Delivery Network (CDN) Services (See related release: "NaviSite Ushers In The Next-Generation of Content Delivery and Acceleration") to help build a content delivery solution and optimize its existing content library for its worldwide member base of research scientists.
ASBMB: Taking research into the 21st century
Established in 1907, The American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, a non-profit scientific and educational organization with over 11,900 members, came to NaviSite needing to build a delivery system for a library of content from its regular meetings and presentations. ASBMB\'s mission is to advance the science of biochemistry and molecular biology, and it carries out this mission through publication education and the organization of scientific meetings. These scientific presentations were often videotaped and placed on DVDs that were then mailed out to members. This process was not very cost-effective for ASBMB, and often left its members waiting to gain access to critical research findings presented at ASBMB meetings.
Leveraging NaviSite\'s Managed Messaging for Lotus Notes solution, NaviSite helped ASBMB build a content delivery system that would allow it to stream proceedings from meetings and conferences online in real-time to its members to provide better access to these research materials. Working on a limited budget, NaviSite and ASBMB designed a cost-effective CDN solution that allowed ASBMB to optimize its existing content library for streaming for availability over a NaviSite-hosted network. NaviSite assisted ASBMB in the re-coding of its existing DVD content library of interviews with top scientists into media files for streaming, and then architected a delivery network that would allow its scientific member base to quickly and easily access, view and/or download this content via ASBMB\'s site.
Additionally, NaviSite and ASBMB also created an automated system to make live content from ASBMB\'s regular meetings available for streaming to its members around the world. The network, launched at the beginning of September 2006, has enabled ASBMB to provide its members with access to cutting edge research and important scientific findings in real-time, helping to advance the science of biochemistry and molecular biology.
"When we made the decision to build a content delivery system, we knew we would need to find a provider who could take a \'hands-on\' role in managing the project," said Hector Martinez, Director of Information Technology for ASBMB. "We had a clear operational mandate to effectively reach our members with information and research through a variety of content: Videos, PowerPoint presentations, web casts, etc. We found that NaviSite was able to offer us the cost-effective solution we needed while providing us with the level of partnership we required. Other companies just couldn\'t match the breadth of technology offered and the depth of service NaviSite gave us."
"Our work with ASBMB is a great example of how we can partner with a customer to be their complete single-source provider for their content delivery needs," said Doug Mow, Vice President of Marketing at NaviSite. "By working closely with ASBMB, NaviSite was able to develop a clear strategy for taking their content library into the Internet age, providing them with the tools and network required to deliver their research in a more efficient and accessible way for its members. Through the successful optimization of its content library, ASBMB is now better able to further its mission of advancing the science of biochemistry and molecular biology for their member base, and we are excited to play a major role in this important initiative for them."

NaviSite\'s CDN Helps Nayio Media Launch a New Online Music Personalization CommunitySubscribers Will Be Able to Create and Share New Music Experiences Through the NaviSite-Designed Content Delivery Network
NaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a leading provider of application management, professional services, and secure content delivery solutions for enterprises in the middle market, today announced that Nayio Media Inc. (
www.nayio.com), a consumer media company, has selected NaviSite\'s managed services and Content Delivery Network (CDN) (See related release: "NaviSite Ushers In The Next-Generation of Content Delivery and Acceleration") to deliver a new interactive music service to music consumers. Leveraging the power of NaviSite\'s flexible, scalable and reliable CDN Services, Nayio will be able to provide consumers with new ways to interact with music: sing and learn their favorite songs, share their musical creations with friends and other music lovers, and compete for recognition with other members of the Nayio online community.
Nayio Media: Be Heard, Be Seen, Become a Star
Nayio Media is bringing to market a new interactive music experience that allows users to search, sing, save and share music, personalizing it for self-expression and sharing with friends and online music community members. Nayio\'s Visual Media Player (VMP) technology and services enable users to not only listen to the song, but also to sing along with it using a PC microphone, visualizing lyrics and melody lines, as well as their own voice with the original music. This feature allows them to interact and learn the song, and, when ready, to save their voice over the original music track. Users can even add their own video or one of the videos available on the Nayio website for further personalization. This new personalized music video can then be shared with friends and other music lovers, and can be posted onto nLounge, the Nayio online community, and can be voted on by nLounge members and compete for recognition in the community, transforming the consumer\'s relationship with music from a passive one into an opportunity for self-expression in a dynamic, music-centric community.
With a service launch date of October 2006, Nayio approached NaviSite initially as a managed hosting partner for their service infrastructure; however, after learning that NaviSite\'s breadth of services also includes CDN, Nayio quickly expanded the scope of their engagement with NaviSite to include a comprehensive content delivery system. As a sophisticated media company, however, Nayio required NaviSite to provide more than just a simple delivery system. Nayio\'s vision is to transform its user-generated content personalization service into a gateway for its nLounge online music community, built for the sharing, rating and even competitive live performances of user-created music and videos, all available via streaming media.
To meet this requirement, NaviSite designed a managed delivery system that included platforms to support an online payment system, content licensing, and digital rights management. This delivery network also has the ability to expand through the CDN to multiple locations from its initial hosted deployment in San Jose. Flexible enough to handle rich media downloads, this NaviSite-designed and hosted delivery network is also scalable enough to grow at the same rapid rate as Nayio\'s subscriber base, while providing "always on" reliability to prevent subscriber dissatisfaction and loss from service outages.
"Nayio is \'American Idol meets YouTube,\' with an online community of music lovers and creators that are changing the functional orientation of music," said Jay Bose, COO and GM at Nayio. "In changing the way our customers access, use and share musical content, we had to find a content delivery system able to handle the massive spikes in traffic inherent in such an interactive community. We chose NaviSite as our service provider because its managed services and CDN were a perfect fit for our needs, able to handle the complexity of our core site and the unique scalability and reliability needs of our community in an affordable and secure way. NaviSite understands the direction of our company. We believe that as Nayio expands its innovative products and music-based services to meet our customers\' needs on a global scale, NaviSite will have the technology to support it."
"Nayio Media is exactly the kind of exciting and innovative company and service that can leverage content delivery and streaming media to push the envelope of the online music community," said Doug Mow, Vice President of Marketing at NaviSite. "Our work with Nayio is a testament to the flexibility, reliability and scalability of our managed services in supporting this new wave of social networking-based communities. NaviSite\'s content delivery services are the perfect complement to Nayio\'s innovative approach to music sharing, and, as a trusted partner to Nayio, we believe our excellent customer service, strong technical capabilities, and reliable, fast and scalable network will help Nayio to transform the online music community."
