Controlled P2P: AXMEDIS P2P

 
Among the many solutions for content providing offered by AXMEDIS, you will be able to exploit the the efficiency of a controlled Peer-to-Peer Network to distribute and allow a controlled sharing of your content.

Exploit the exciting capabilities offered by a legal, P2P Network!

A distribution of content over a P2P Network offers many advantages. For example the chance to set-up an extremely efficient large-scale distribution, without spending all your resources for a traditional Server Farm needed for such a complex traditional streaming solution.

The AXMEDIS P2P is an open and scalable solution for setting up P2P networks for content distribution and sharing which can be used among business actors or consumers, or for creating thematic or mixed P2P networks for B2C content distribution and sharing. Content can be any kind, from video to audio, games, documents, etc.

AXMEDIS P2P solution allows content owners and distributors to exploit the capabilities of P2P protocols to create efficient, controllable, legal and secure P2P networks for content distribution and sharing. By using the AXMEDIS P2P solution a distributor may publish content in the P2P network; and the content may freely navigate among peers with the supervision and control of the AXMEDIS protection and monitoring tools. Content distributors may use the AXMEDIS P2P solution to setup legal P2P services for content distribution towards and among their customers, thus reducing their direct costs for distribution and infrastructure. Final users can be profiled and may be stimulated by advertising, and/or promotions of content to acquire licenses to play the content. Other business models such as the monthly rate or the renting for a period are also possible.
