EUnet International broadcast Microsoft, Digital presentation


Amsterdam, January 28, 1998:
EUnet International Broadcasts in Europe Digital's CEO Bob Palmer and Microsoft's CEO Bill Gates announcement of a major expansion of their strategic partnership

EUnet International, in partnership with Moonfire, a Sweden and Silicon valley based multi-media Internet Broadcast Company, makes its webcasting infrastructure available for Digital and Microsoft to announce the furthering of their alliance via worldwide cybercast.

"Started in 1995, the alliance was one of the first strategic alliances struck by Microsoft to migrate NT into the back end of corporate networks. Under the agreement Microsoft agreed to train hundreds of Digital service personnel on Windows NT. In return, Digital agreed to promote NT as an operating system to its hardware customers. In the latest stage of the partnership Digital furthers its commitment to Microsoft by releasing a new generation of NT servers that do not distinguish by product name between servers based on Intel processors and those based around Digital's own Alpha chip".

The presentation of this latest development in the Microsoft Digital alliance will be broadcast over the Internet at 17.00 GMT and will be available for on-demand viewing from http://www.EU.net

This is a perfect example of how the Internet can be used effectively reach a large audience for both internal and external communications and allow interested parties and or stake holders to be kept fully up-to-date on the latest developments within the company.

Amancio Kolompar, Business Manager Networked Commerce at EUnet International says "Building on RealNetworks' award winning RealAudio and RealVideo technology we have designed a turnkey solution based upon a distributed splitter network of media servers that are strategically located across Europe. With this unmatched network we automatically deliver content from the closest, least-congested available stream, reducing packet loss and signal fragmentation. As a result companies can now offer their customers affordable high quality Internet broadcasts."
