Infima Technologies Signs a Technology and Marketing Partnership with XStream Video

July 28, 2006 – Infima Technologies, a leading provider of lossless data compression technology solutions, has announced a technology and marketing-based partnership with XStream Video Ltd. to incorporate the company's media content distribution technology into XStream branded streaming products.

Both companies are working closely together in order to extend each organization's ability to deliver to enterprise customers a full streaming solution that will benefit both the technical and the non-technical user to help improve efficiency and reduce the cost of storing and retrieving massive media content files.

The goal is to provide the most robust tools for managing, accessing and distributing massive media content by enabling the customers to leverage Infima compression technology. With Infima industry leading compression technology and XStream distribution and management expertise, it's a significant win for enterprise customers who need a solution for storing and distributing of large media content.

Several key advantages are achieved by integrating Infima compression technology in XStream Video products.

Reduced storage costs: Media storage size is greatly reduced (5 to 10 times depending on the compression ratio used) without introducing artifacts into the media broadcasts. This reduction in storage size results in reduced storage costs.
Improved performance: Fast loading of existing streaming content increases productivity for users receiving media content over the internet in XTRIM format. Additionally, very fast retrieval of media content is realized due to efficiencies inherent in XTRIM format properties.
Enterprise-wide integration: Unprecedented decision support is achieved when a single XStream XBS data repository manages all mission-critical data.

Furthermore, existing XStream Video customers will not need to modify their existing applications; rather, the Infima Compression API will support direct access to flash components.
