Netli Adds Digital Rights Management to Application Acceleration and Content Delivery Services

Addition of Digital Rights Management to NetliOne Platform Provides On-Demand Performance, Scale and Authorized Delivery for High-Value Digital Assets

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Netli®, the fastest growing global service provider for accelerating applications and content over the Internet, today announced a new managed service, NetliDRM, designed to provide an accelerated digital rights management solution that guarantees LAN-like response times for gaining access to and downloading high-value digital assets, such as software downloads, rich media, and sensitive documents. In a separate release, Netli also announced extensions to the Netli Accelerated SSL Delivery, a service designed to ensure global LAN-like response times for web-enabled applications that rely on SSL (see release titled, “Netli Pumps Up Accelerated Delivery; X.509 Client Certificate Support Added to Secure Application Acceleration Service,” dated today, Dec. 4). With the addition of NetliDRM, Netli provides the fastest and most secure, unified managed services platform for accelerating web applications, content, and web services. With NetliDRM, web-enabled enterprises can completely control high-value digital asset delivery while ensuring LAN-like performance with Netli’s global scale.

“High value digital assets require security and control when being accessed over the Internet. Often this comes at the expense of performance,” said Willie Tejada, senior vice president of marketing and business development. “NetliDRM combined with Netli’s application acceleration and content delivery services ensure security and global LAN-like response times for enterprises’ most sensitive applications and content.”

Web-enabled enterprises that deploy business-critical applications over the Internet must control access to high-value digital assets to prevent unwanted distribution, which occurs quickly when content is not protected. According to Network World, companies lost $61 billion revenue in 2005 just in the area of media and entertainment. Unfortunately, typical digital rights management solutions add significant delays to the downloading process, resulting in an unacceptable user experience. Seamlessly integrated into the NetliOne platform, NetliDRM provides companies with the digital rights management protection they need to prevent revenue loss while ensuring global LAN-like response times and a positive user experience.

Customers using the reliable and flexible control provided by NetliDRM, like Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MCHP), Chandler, AZ, tightly control and secure their high-value digital content distributed over the Internet while still having access to the global scale provided by Netli to ensure 100% available delivery with LAN-like performance.

NetliDRM combines a policy-management engine accessible via flexible Web Services APIs with intelligent access controls embedded in each Netli Virtual Data Center to enable stringent access management on a global level. Deployed as a fully managed service, NetliDRM is an extensible and platform-independent service requiring no infrastructure build-out or extended development cycle. NetliDRM features flexible policy controls that enable the implementation of dynamic business rules and the ability to define policies at the point of transaction. NetliDRM also includes complete visibility into downloads with full audit trail and reporting capabilities.

The NetliOne Platform serves as the foundation for the Netli Application Delivery Network (ADN) suite of services: NetLightning®, NetliOffload™, NetliContinuity™, NetliView™, NetliDRM, and Netli Accelerated SSL Delivery. NetLightning securely accelerates dynamic, enterprise Web applications to assure LAN-like response times worldwide without requiring application modifications. With zero cache warming and management required, NetliOffload offloads static content delivery to shift bandwidth, computing, and storage requirements from the enterprise data center to the on-demand Netli network infrastructure. NetliContinuity provides global traffic management to ensure optimal performance and availability across data centers. NetliView continuously monitors business-critical, Netli-optimized applications to provide visibility into application response time and health. NetliDRM provides accelerated access to and control over high-value digital assets. Netli Accelerated SSL Delivery ensures LAN-like response times worldwide for secure traffic.
