Storage, Capacity, Investors and CustomersPosted Dec. 1, 2011 by Stefan Caunter

Storage capacity for OWC and Video on Demand has more than doubled. We found hard drive availability a few weeks ago and took advantage before they all disappeared. We've got a cold spare sitting on-site in a cardboard box, and a double redundant ZFS array that is screaming fast. If you need redundant storage at $0.15 per GB per month please get in touch.

For Europe, additional network capacity is online. This expansion doubles our network throughput in Europe for VideoCDN, and keeps our streaming price for VOD or livestream hosting at $0.09 per Gb transferred. Is anyone paying $0.25 per Gb of video transferred?

Just finished researching Dacast and Wistia pricing to update our price comparison tables. I had not heard of Wistia until someone asked us about them. Still don't know much about them. Anyway, Dacast resells for Edgecast, which is fine. Edgecast requires a major contract, but Dacast must get a deal on bandwidth, and they are more expensive than Edgecast. I also noticed that Edgecast is funded by Disney. There is a venture capital arm of the Walt Disney company that invested in Edgecast. I think that's funny. Edgecast has this awesome, black, aggressive website, and they got their money from Mickey Mouse! We don't have investors here at ScaleEngine, we have customers, which I think is better for everyone. When you have investors, they come first, folks. You want to know that customers are a priority, not investors. We run our business, every day, like we need customers, not investors.
