Social media has revolutionized the world, and it's here to stay.
In today's interactive world, it's becoming more and more difficult to envision life before social media. Thanks to social media, everyone has the power to be an actor, a director, a writer, a comedian and a spokesperson. Many viral videos are viewed by millions globally, businesses are promoting products and services through what is now the modern grassroots effort, causes are supported well beyond geographic boundaries, celebrities are reaching out to fans on a more personal level, photos are shared in ways never before imaginable, social media segments are popping up in news broadcasts, and amateur videos have been used to catch criminals.
Behind all the hype are impressive databases, libraries teeming with content, and servers bursting at the seams … all trying to keep up with popularity and demand. Video and audio files, photos, text, and other content on social media sites are growing at exponential rates, and without the right infrastructure in place, sites can collapse under the pressure and user experiences can suffer.
We provide the must-haves: reliability, scalability, flexibility and affordability.
Highwinds helps customers keep up in the fast-paced world of social media. When your social media site is backed by our reliable global content delivery network, downtime and quality issues quickly become part of the past. We can keep up with the constant uploading of all types of social media content from all types of connected devices. We can even support massive traffic spikes every time the next best video goes viral and reaches millions of people. We built our CDN with massive scalability and flexibility, so we're in a great position to support your social media site as it grows – even if it grows wildly beyond your imagination.
We also understand that amateur quality can reflect poorly on your business, that self-service workflows are hard for you to manage, that not all users upgrade when you want them to, and that social media is difficult for you to monetize and expensive for you to deliver. This is why Highwinds is the ideal partner to support all of the content on your social media sites. We offer a comprehensive and affordable suite of live and on-demand streaming, colocation, transit, transport and content delivery services to help you achieve long-term success with social media.
The services we provide to social media customers include:
New ways of monetizing social media content enable you to finally generate some revenue from it – an ongoing challenge for social media providers.
In addition to a robust CDN offering, we also provide social media businesses with transit, transport, peering and colocation products needed to run their websites.
Our StrikeTracker console, one of the industry's best reporting platforms, provides byte-accurate analytics for tracking the geographic location of content consumption.
A major challenge for Web 2.0 businesses is how to store enormous libraries of user-generated content. We offer a selection of flexible, cost-effective storage options.
Go ahead and grow your social media sites. Don't shy away from marketing your sites to new users. Don't restrict their ability to upload and share mountains of content. It's time to put your fears of growing too big too fast to rest – and trust your content to Highwinds' massive network infrastructure, advanced technologies, user-friendly tools and social media expertise.
