Global Network
Built on top of Abacast’s global CDN and, optionally, Abacast Peer-Assisted delivery, the File Delivery Service is an end-to-end service, offering hosting, distribution, monetization services, analytics including file completion tracking, and user experience.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Support for any digital format – distribute any file including games, videos, music, full-length CDs and DVDs and archive files such as .zip and .cab files.  Abacast File Delivery is format agnostic.  
  • Value added services – offer subscription (push) delivery and auto-updates of software or games, all with a cost effective solution.
  • Smart analytics – track file downloads and download completion statistics, identify download patterns, and optimize marketing programs through both real time and historical business analytics.

  • Works with other Abacast services – easily integrate other Abacast services including Abacast Live Delivery, Customized Players, Subscription Management, DRM, and Enterprise services. 
  • Forge tighter relationships with your customers – forge a tighter relationship with your users by delivering personalized movies, music, games or software directly to their desktop.  Real time, branded notifications on personalized content delivery regularly drive users back to your web site or service.

With the Peer-Assisted Delivery option, you also get
  • Distribution costs matched to business model – choose Peer-Assisted delivery for content that is not guaranteed to be monetized such as push-delivered content, “try before you buy”, movie trailers or software and game demos.
  • Highest quality content distribution – deliver high quality content, even high definition video, for about the same cost as traditional CDNs charge for much lower-quality content. 
  • Standard web-page integration – Peer-Assisted delivery utilizes standards-based methods for web page integration; peer-assisted delivery happens transparently and under the covers. 
  • Control of your distribution costs - usage of the Abacast Peer-Assisted delivery can be phased in over time and grown organically over time. 
  • Integration with your current CDN – easily integrate Abacast On-Demand Peer-Assisted Delivery alongside your existing network or utilize Abacast’s robust, globally distributed CDN.
