New York, NY – (April 17, 2008) – Panther Express, a global provider of high-performance, high value content delivery services, and Swarmcast, a provider of multi-source streaming platforms, today announced a partnership that integrates Panther’s global CDN network with Swarmcast’s Autobahn Platform. Content owners now have a complete, integrated solution for streaming the highest quality live and on-demand video content.

Together, Panther Express and Swarmcast are providing the world’s most reliable and scalable network for the delivery for streaming video, live video events, and video conferencing. The Autobahn Platform brings HD live event streaming and adaptive bitrate Flash video capabilities to Panther’s high performance, scalable and cost effective content delivery network. The joint solution allows content providers to give consumers an extraordinary viewing experience.

“Consumers now demand the high-quality video and viewing experience that the Autobahn Platform brings to online video,” said Justin Chapweske, founder and CEO of Swarmcast. “The combination of the Autobahn Platform and Panther Express’ premier CDN gives content providers the integrated solution necessary to deliver high-quality viewing experiences and to engage audiences with high-quality content.”

“As the industry’s best value CDN provider, we are committed to providing complete, high performance, reliable and flexible video solutions that cater to the needs of our diverse customer base of content providers,” said Aaron Mittman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Panther Express. “With the Autobahn Platform and Panther Express’ industry leading CDN, we’re enabling profitable business models around high quality video.”

With the Autobahn Platform, the Panther Express CDN easily plugs in to Microsoft’s Silverlight and Adobe’s Flash® rich media environments. By seamlessly integrating with standard rich media environments, Panther now enables content providers to stream the highest quality live and on-demand video without committing to closed, proprietary delivery methods, and helps content providers manage costs to build profitable businesses around online video. Swarmcast encourages Flash developers to modify the Autobahn HD player and to extend the Autobahn Platform capabilities to their own Flash sites. Content providers with live content can extend their video capabilities to provide full-screen, high-quality, reliable live streams with Autobahn Live.

As measured with Gomez and other reporting services, Panther Express consistently provides some of the industry best performance among the leading content delivery networks. This reliability and scalability, when combined with Panther’s unrivaled pricing and customer service, is why every day, more and more of the world’s content providers rely on Panther Express to deliver the goods to their online customers.
