Thruport Powers PETA's Online Videos
ALEXANDRIA, VA, March 18 2004 - When People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals needed a reliable and high speed solution to deliver online
videos for their PETA TV (www.petatv.com)
service, Alexandria, VA-based Thruport Technologies came to their aid. Video is one of the most
demanding applications on the Internet today, and a high profile
organization like PETA needs to be able to deliver large amounts of data
and make sure it is always available and fast for visitors to the PETA
TV site to download. Thruport donated close to $150,000 worth of dedicated server hosting and
bandwidth to help them get their message out to the world.
"PETA's a great organization and we're happy to be providing high speed
hosting and services to them." said Thruport President and CEO Bruce
Waldack.
"Thruport's technical know-how, extensive network and superb reliability
have allowed PETA to deliver countless hours of important video to our
large international audience with zero downtime and no hassles." said
Jeff Trussell, Producer for PETA TV. "The bandwidth and expertise they
donate each month plays an invaluable role in helping PETA in its fight
to end animal cruelty worldwide."
Thruport's state of the art data center and high speed network was
specifically designed to be able to handle the most demanding hosting
requirements. The large amount of data that is served through PETA TV
with no interruptions or slowdown is a perfect example of the
reliability and scalability that all of Thruport's clients get to
benefit from.
