As a result, GNi's Service Level Agreement (SLA) with BitTorrent guarantees 99.999 percent uptime.
“BitTorrent is emerging as a key player for distribution of video content over the Internet and needs bandwidth providers that can keep pace with our growth”
"BitTorrent is emerging as a key player for distribution of video content over the Internet and needs bandwidth providers that can keep pace with our growth," said Ashwin Navin, president and co-founder of BitTorrent. "GNi's reliability and flexibility were key factors in our decision to work with them, so we can focus on the best user experience for our service."
GNi offers multi-carrier/multi-homed Internet transit, managed services and 24/7 "remote hands" support to maximize uptime, eliminate points of failure, and provide reliable service for mission-critical applications. The rapidly expanding managed services provider also guarantees "five nines" network availability as reflected in the company's service level agreements with clients such as Symantec, HP, the Oakland Raiders and Southern Cross.
"We're excited about working with BitTorrent," stated Derek Wise, president and CEO of GNi. "Their video distribution model presents some interesting challenges that allow us to demonstrate our innovative approach to delivering the best Internet services and support."
