Magnify Self-Serve CDN

June 23, 2008 - Steve Rosenbaum

If you've got big files,  long files,  or a need to be able to put up files in large quantity (rather than one at a time),  then this low cost flexible CDN solution can add a great new flexible capacity to your video offering.

cdn-badge.pngWe're adding this new 'bandwidth metered' service as a new alternative (don't worry - it doesn't replace anything or change any of our current offerings).   It's just a cool new choice for big video users.

This is service provides a 'next step' for folks who've used the Increased Uploads offering in Pro, and are looking for more of a scalable solution.

It is another piece to the video puzzle for web video users.   We've provided a suite of services that can be used to build video-centric solutions.

Vator TV reviews Magnify.net

June 19, 2008 - Steve Rosenbaum

Here's the video review

jump to 8:25 to watch the review. (Hint.. they like us!)

Scott Banister, known for selling his startup IronPort to Cisco Systems for $830 million last year, and being an early investor in some hot companies - PayPal, Facebook, Powerset, just to name a few - was our guest host this week. He joined me and Vator regular Ezra Roizen to discuss Magnify, a company that powers user-generated-video for 30,000-plus sites. Bottom line, Scott, Ezra and I all agreed that Magnify has potential to be a significant business as UGC video becomes a requisite feature for all publishers. For Goozex, Scott and Ezra have some great advice.

Magnify Rocks Early Stage East!

June 18, 2008 - Steve Rosenbaum

For the past two days,  I've been hanging out with a room full of hard working entrepreneurs,  curious and engaged venture capitalists,  and the team that runs Early Stage East.   If you haven't heard of this event,  you should.   It's a ten year old passion project of David Freschman - himself a Venture investor - and it takes place at the historic Hotel du Pont in Wilmington.


I confess,  I hadn't spent a lot of time in Wilmington - so I was truly delighted to get to check out the downtown,  find myself in the middle of a huge outdoor jazz concert in the middle of the city at night,  and enjoy the company of such a great bunch of folks.

Magnify.net has a terrific team of Board Members - and this Board Meeting had a special guest.   Despite the fact that Internet week had the mascot traveling back and forth across the city - and often hanging out late into the night - he was all smiles when he arrived at the Rose Tech Ventures board room to say hi and hand out magnify swag.
