Tata enters content delivery space with BitGravity

Tata Communications, and broadcaster BitGravity have launched a worldwide Content Delivery Network (CDN) service. Tata has more than 300 points of presence worldwide throughout Europe, Asia, North America and India. Tata has also invested USD 11.5 million in convertible debt in BitGravity who in turn has named Tata Communications’ Chief Technology Officer, John Hayduk to its Board of Directors. Customers can access content, including High-Definition Video, without delay or jitter. Fast forwarding, cache clearing, resolution switching and rate throttling are just a few of the features. With the rise of Video as the main application, combined with data centre storage facilities, a CDN was the missing piece of the puzzle. Watch for other players to finalise their global plans.
