October 15, 2008, Singapore – Cold Storage Software Pte Ltd. (“Cold Storage”) today announced Education Broadcast Systems (“EBS”), the largest terrestrial public education broadcaster in Korea selects its StorageZone Network Attached Storage (NAS) gateway to provide EBS users with high speed and reliable on demand video content delivery over the Internet.
“VOD service providers often face the dilemma of performance and cost efficiency when building their content storage systems, said Mr. Dominic Mak, Managing Director of Cold Storage. Service quality would be limited if content cannot be delivered quickly upon request. Service providers can shop among a basket of platforms and products. Some of them may provide outstanding performance, with the trade off of costs or ease of operation and management. They need a storage platform that can satisfy their performance demand and at the same time, offer them the benefits of cost and operation efficiency”

Servers for different applications are connected to the gateways and process requests from VOD subscribers. StorageZone NAS Gateway allows fast content delivery with proven streaming performance.
