Market Expansion, Customer Growth, and Innovation Show Clear Evidence of the Company's Global Impact Across Industries
Golden, Colo. July 29, 2015 Wowza Media Systems , the leading software and cloud-based services provider that continuously solves the complexities of high-quality video and audio streaming for organizations worldwide, today announced strong market momentum leading into the second half of 2015. Company milestones include increased growth, widespread adoption, new product innovations and the expansion of its partner ecosystem.
The growing excitement and demand for live video continues to reinforce the importance of our technology as the mining equipment of the Internet video gold rush, said David Stubenvoll, CEO and co-founder of Wowza Media Systems. We are excited to build on this strong momentum that has come as the result of company growth, an expanding customer and partner base, and continued product innovation. This momentum will propel us forward as we continue to lead the industry in live and on-demand video and audio streaming with our hybrid offerings.
This momentum is a strong indicator of how Wowza server software and cloud-based services are transforming the streaming industry with unmatched flexibility, customization, and control. Wowza technology provides the foundation for many of today's streaming solutions, while also delivering products and services directly to end customers so organizations worldwide can utilize video and audio streaming for deeper engagement and expanded reach.
Customer Expansion and Market Penetration Fuel Growth To date, Wowza has more than 15,000 revenue-generating direct end customers, service providers and OEMs who, by purchasing Wowza products and services, have realized the vast benefits of cost-effective, high-quality streaming that attracts audiences across device types, bandwidth conditions and operating systems. From top universities and sports teams to broadcasters and large enterprises, the Wowza customer base continues to expand with deployed solutions in more than 170 countries across six continents.
Wowza Media Systems powers or partners with more than 70 percent of the providers identified in Gartner's Enterprise Video Content Management Magic Quadrant, including Qumu, Kaltura and Ramp. Its strong market presence extends to content delivery networks (CDNs), with almost 40 percent of CDNs including leaders such as Limelight Networks, GS Neotek, CDNetworks and Tata Communications included in Wowza's customer base.
Global Growth to Meet Robust Demand As video and audio streaming continue to be an integral way for organizations to engage and communicate, the demand for Wowza's integrated, hybrid model of deployable software and cloud-based services has experienced robust growth over the past year. To meet this global demand, the company has more than doubled its employee base in the past two years, and now has employees in six countries.
A seismic shift is underway, driven by the demand for video to be streamed to a wide variety of devices, and it is impacting how organizations view the importance of streaming technology. For IPTV and OTT broadcasters, educational institutions, government, enterprise and other organizations, the ability to build, deploy and manage the workflow required for high-quality video streaming is critical to successful viewer engagement, no matter the target audience, said Avni Rambhia, principal analyst at Frost & Sullivan. The challenge today is to develop industrial-grade technology and infrastructure these organizations need to meet the soaring demand for live video streaming solutions while offering high reliability, quality of experience and innovative product capabilities.
Technology Innovations Ensure Industry-Leading Solutions As an industry leader, Wowza continues to address the ever-changing complexities of streaming video and invest in leading-edge technology development. The company recently unveiled the following capabilities:

Preconfigured settings help users get started in minutes, while advanced options allow power users to create tailor-made solutions with the utmost control and flexibility. Customers can stream directly from IP cameras or encoders without the need for additional streaming infrastructure.
Wowza Streaming Engine Pro is now the current edition of Wowza Streaming Engine software that includes the capabilities of Wowza Transcoder, Wowza nDVR and Wowza DRM. Its unlimited transcoding feature puts live adaptive bitrate streaming within reach of every user by eliminating per-channel transcoding costs.
