Mirror Image Internet Launches Guardian Content Protection Solution to Protect Objects and Streams from Unauthorized Use

  Global CDN Offers Customers New Security Service for Digital Media
TEWKSBURY, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Mirror Image(R) Internet, a leading provider of content delivery
solutions powered by a patented global network, today announced the
availability of Guardian Content Protection, a new service that allows
customers to control access to content that is delivered through the
Mirror Image network.

   Guardian Content Protection is available for both Mirror Image
streaming and object delivery services. It offers a highly scalable
security option that protects content and bandwidth from unauthorized
access. The service gives content providers the power to manage access
by start and stop dates/times, user IP address, referring domain and
geographical location. The token-based system avoids three-way
handshakes that often result in prolonged download and start-up times
and access can be authorized on-the-fly without having to modify the
content itself.

   "The Guardian Content Protection service enables content providers
to effectively authorize access to their content," said Gustav Vik,
President and CEO at Mirror Image Internet. "Combined with our global
network, Mirror Image gives content providers the ability to realize
maximum content delivery performance and reliability with the control
required to protect their digital assets."

   Guardian Content Protection is available now from Mirror Image
Internet.
