CFXHosting Now Supports Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan 13, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Macromedia Alliance Partner CFXHosting announced today that it is now offering hosting support for Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX. This solution combines powerful communication capabilities including streaming media, rich media messaging, and real-time collaboration. These features let developers integrate streaming video and audio with motion graphics in a customizable player environment, taking multimedia presentation on the Internet to a new level.

Developers at CFXHosting worked with technicians at Macromedia to integrate the product into the CFXHosting server environment. After several weeks of training and preparation, the developers and engineers at CFXHosting feel confident in CFXHosting's ability to deliver this new technology.

"Our hosting platform was created so that new technologies may be integrated seamlessly," said Stephenie Hamilton, Senior Developer for CFXHosting. "Macromedia Flash Communication Server has been designed to allow developers to rapidly develop rich Internet applications. By offering Macromedia Flash Communication Server as an add-on to our Macromedia ColdFusion hosting plans, we can offer our clients a complete multimedia and dynamic website solution."

"We are very excited to have CFXHosting hosting Macromedia Flash Communication Server," said Chris Hock, director of product marketing, Macromedia. "We believe their expertise and reliable hosting environment will provide customers with everything they need to successfully deploy Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX applications."

This software has already been deployed by several industry-leading corporations, including leading Internet company Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) , which uses this software to deliver streaming on-demand video clips to subscribers. Despite this apparent demand for the product, CFXHosting is one of the first hosting companies to offer hosting support.

According to CFXHosting's Mark Click, choosing to be a hosting pioneer was not a difficult decision for CFXHosting.

"By incorporating Macromedia Flash Communication Server into our existing award-winning hosting solutions, we can provide our clients with easy to deploy rich media applications," said Mark Click, Director of Sales and Marketing. "This is vitally important for a large majority of our clients who are seeking to expand their online presence while continuing to provide a personal touch to their site.
