ABI Research: Skyfire’s Rocket Optimizer a ‘Compelling Argument’ to Begin Network Functions Virtualization
Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2013
Cloud-based mobile video-optimization provider Skyfire has announced that leading technology market intelligence company ABI Research has commended its Rocket Optimizer mobile video optimization solution. In particular, ABI praised Rocket Optimizer’s abilities to pave the way to Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) mobile infrastructure; and efficiently process high, and unpredictable, subscriber demand for mobile video.
“Independently of the way it is deployed in the network, Rocket Optimizer presents a very compelling argument for operators of all sizes to begin the path towards the mobile network of tomorrow,” wrote Joe Hoffman, Research Director of ABI Research. “It delivers all the key elements an operator needs to take its first steps towards an NFV and SDN future. Moreover, Skyfire is well positioned with Rocket Optimizer, and its Experience Assurance and CloudBurst features, to help operators satisfy appetite for mobile video and derive a profit from it.”
Rocket Optimizer is a unique cloud-based mobile network solution that can dynamically and instantly optimize any type of video and other high-bandwidth multimedia. It can deliver a 60 per cent boost in bandwidth capacity while preserving the highest visual quality. Its Experience Assurance technology allow operators to measure, quantify and mitigate congestion in real time, without the installation of legacy inline appliance hardware or RAN probes in the network, while its CloudBurst technology lets operators instantly expand their optimization capacity to handle planned AND unplanned spikes in network traffic.
In the recently published research note, ABI identifies Rocket Optimizer as a low-risk path to mobile network virtualization, leveraging elements of NFV and preparing for evolution to SDN. Rocket Optimizer currently works with SDN-based steering vendors, which leverage SDN to define traffic routing and network functions on commodity hardware servers. Rocket Optimizer uses SDN’s programmable routers to identify and route large video, streaming audio and image traffic to the cloud for optimization and successful and instantaneous delivery.
Mobile operators embracing NFV will likely opt for a low-risk step-by-step network adoption. Initially, operators can prove the viability of individual virtualized functions now, such as the traditional in-network function of data and media optimization and traffic shaping. Skyfire’s Rocket Optimizer is NFV-ready now, and it makes for a robust and compelling use case for operators looking for immediate cost, flexibility and user experience benefits from a virtualized cloud.
Moreover, video and multimedia optimization in the cloud is possible when intelligent routing and steering partners are already present in the network, and Skyfire cooperates with these to deliver bandwidth capacity boosts across all devices. Skyfire’s Rocket Optimizer can be an all-important first step in implementing robust, cost-saving, capacity-boosting services in NFV architecture.
The ABI research note on Skyfire’s Rocket Optimizer can be downloaded here.

Brand.com Sale Sets High Watermark for 2013 Domain Acquisitions
New York, New York (PRWEB) July 11, 2013
Online domains are among the most quickly-appreciating of all commodities, and they are emerging as pivotal forms of currency in today’s increasingly-digital world. As a case in point, the domain name Brand.com recently sold for a total of almost $ 500,000—a mere fraction of its true worth—making it the single highest dollar domain sale of the year. Now, the team behind the newly-launched Brand.com has issued a new statement to the press, commenting on the thought process behind its decision to purchase the much-coveted domain.
Brand.com is an industry-leading reputation management and online brand enhancement company, devoted to providing individuals and companies alike with a complete say in how they are portrayed on the Internet. The company purchased the Brand.com domain from Chuck Pettis, VP of Marketing at MakerBot. Pettis—who is also the founder and president of BrandSolutions, Inc.—sold the Brand.com domain as part of his transition into more full-time work for MakerBot, a 3D printing company that was launched by his son in 2009, and which Pettis recently sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.
As for the buyers, the newly-christened Brand.com team was formerly known as Reputation Changer—but according to company president Michael Zammuto, the transition from Reputation Changer to Brand.com made sense on several levels. “This was an ideal opportunity for Mr. Pettis, but also for the Reputation Changer team,” Zammuto observes, in the company’s new statement to the press. “The deal worked out for Chuck because he was ready to shift his entire focus to MakerBot, and it worked out for us because we were prepared to move into a more high-traffic domain.” The gambit has paid off in a big way: Thus far, the new domain has brought the Brand.com team 300 percent more global monthly searches than its nearest competitor in the online reputation management space. “We now have a huge strategic advantage in this rapidly-growing industry,” Zammuto remarks.
“Essentially, Brand.com has catapulted itself to become the most visible firm in the online brand enhancement and reputation management industry,” Zammuto continues. The repositioning of Reputation Changer as Brand.com comes at an ideal time, as more and more high-profile individuals and companies—including Fortune 100 brands, political figures, and celebrities—are coming to recognize the importance of online reputation management.
“Our company posted 600 percent growth in 2012, and now Brand.com is on track to achieve 1000 percent growth by the end of 2013,” Zammuto says. “Much of this growth stems from the fact that online reputation management itself is becoming so important, and so hotly in-demand, with more and more big corporations and national governments seeking to control the way they are presented on the Web. Our company has proven its ability to create brand equity and to help our clients shape the way they are portrayed on the Internet.”
Zammuto also notes that the higher visibility that the company has, through the Brand.com domain, will “continue to solidify online reputation management as a central marketing and PR concern among all organizations and public figures.”
The Brand.com domain name was owned by Chuck Pettis since 1995, and he used the domain as the homepage for his own branding services firm, BrandSolutions, Inc. He listed the domain last February, for $ 500,000; the domain was ultimately acquired for a discount, but the final sale—more than $ 400,000—still qualifies it as the biggest domain purchase of the year to date. Though Brand.com was initially being sold for millions of dollars, Pettis’ recent sale of MakerBot, for $ 400 million, made him willing to part ways with the Brand.com domain for a small fraction of its real worth.
ABOUT:
Brand.com is widely recognized as the foremost online reputation management and brand enhancement firm in the world, working with individuals and organizations alike and assisting them in establishing their online authority and credibility. Heralded as the #1 online reputation management agency by TopSEOs.com and honored as a Red Herring Top 100 Company in 2013, Brand.com continues to innovate new reputation management techniques and technologies from its offices in Philadelphia. The company is equally devoted to pioneering reputation defense strategies, PR management techniques, and the development of cutting-edge technologies. The ultimate mission of Brand.com is to establish each client’s personal or corporate brand as a brand of choice.
