eMikolo Pops out Above Radar - No Longer Stealth
P2P Tracker - 11/2/2001
No longer veiled behind a composite shell, eMikolo has stepped
out from stealth mode in a big way by announcing its first product
at DEMO 2001. One of only 75 companies invited to participate at
the annual technology
showcase, eMikolo will demonstrate its Demand Driven Access(tm)
(DDA) caching technology.
Targeted initially at "old economy" web site operators
and hosting services, DDA is designed to improve the performance
of content delivery, particularly audio and video streams through
a unique combination of peer-to-peer
networking and intelligent caching. The company estimates performance
gains of up to 400% can be achieved through the use of DDA.
eMikolo's selection by the 10-year-old DEMO forum illustrates the
growing spotlight being shown on P2P technology companies. The announcement
is a minor coup for the DEMO forum, stealing at least one of several
coming outs that were anticipated at the upcoming O'Reilly conference
in San Francisco later in the week. Other P2P companies invited
to participate at DEMO 2001 include Xdegrees and OpenDesign, both
also expected to demonstrate infrastructure services.
Clearly the DEMO people were happy with the circumstances as a
statement on the eMikolo Web site by executive producer Chris Shipley
DEMOnstrated, "Our
selection process is rigorous and I firmly believe that eMikolo
Network's technology is truly disruptive and has the potential to
transform the way content is distributed." Disruptive, indeed.
