Unique selling point:

The Private Content Distribution Service allows delivery within a corporate network and behind the corporate firewall. The advantage of this system is that it allows users to access up-to-date files from within the corporate network, thus allowing for files to be retrieved extremely quickly, and without relying on external infrastructure, which could sometimes fails. This boosts performance for corporate media such as executive webcasts, training and online video and telephone conferencing.
