Plano, Texas – (The Hosting News) – July 15, 2009 – Dedicated server solution provider, SoftLayer, recently supported the live Internet broadcast of the Michael Jackson Memorial Service, as an on-demand data center services provider, selected by multi-platform IP services and content delivery provider, Highwinds.
As a trusted partner to support high-quality live streaming of the global event, it is believed that the memorial service’s viewership was second only to the inauguration of President Barack Obama, also streamed by SoftLayer and Highwinds.
Ric Moseley, Vice President of Engineering at SoftLayer noted, ”It would be enough of an accomplishment just to handle an event of this scale. But being able to handle it without any interruption to regular operations really proves the robustness of our architecture and network. We are proud to have been a part of such a historic occasion, and that customers like Highwinds keep coming back to us for our expertise.”
SoftLayer provisioned more than 400 servers for the one-day netcast, demonstrating the service providers’ massive and dynamic scalability. SoftLayer streamed more than 45Gb of event coverage for the day, leading to a one-day high of 100Gb total traffic between its three data centers, with no reported outages or performance issues.
More and more people are turning to the Internet instead of television as their video source for important live events. After media and social networking sites experienced outages and overloading on the day of Jackson’s passing, it was expected his memorial service would generate record levels of attention.
George Antoniou, Vice President of Operations at Highwinds explained, ”We knew from our mutual success streaming the Obama Inauguration that SoftLayer was the ideal partner for this event.”

Lance Crosby, CEO of SoftLayer explained, ”We deployed the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform because it was purpose-built to meet the needs of service providers.

User access is controlled using role based permissions and share expirations. Mezeo’s white labeled Access Clients for Windows Desktops and leading mobile smartphones — BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Mobile devices, enable ubiquitous access to files on CloudLayer Storage. In addition, these files can be accessed via WebDAV or a Web 2.0 browser interface.
Shayan Amindani, Business Development Executive at VectorLevel LLC, a California-based web hosting company noted, ”I am pleasantly surprised by SoftLayer’s new CloudLayer service. The speeds are superb and the prices are excellent.”
Steve Lesem, President and CEO of Mezeo offered, ”SoftLayer has done everything right throughout the deployment process and the result is that CloudLayer Storage provides best-of-class capabilities that businesses and consumers want right now. It is exciting to see the market embrace the extraordinary value of Mezeo’s deployable cloud storage platform as deployed by SoftLayer. The Mezeo cloud storage solutions can be quickly and cost effectively integrated into an IT service provider’s offerings.”
