Case Study: Xbox achieves seamless, secure cloud content delivery with Signiant

Signiant Provides Seamless Connection to the Windows Azure Platform

Xbox and Zune developers at Microsoft needed a secure, seamless way to move large video and gaming files into and out of the Windows Azure platform. Using Signiant’s content distribution management system and Workflow Modeling Engine, they were able to replace reliance on third-party CDNs and create a more comprehensive content aggregation platform.

Signiant connected the Xbox teams to Windows Azure services for upload, storage, compute, and CDN delivery, helping improve speed, security, operational continuity, and business resiliency. The result was better support for large-file transport and improved end-user performance and reliability through Azure’s distributed content delivery model.
