Mirror Image Internet Joins Microsoft Silverlight Partner Initiative

Posted on: Tuesday, 23 October 2007, 09:00 CDT

Mirror Image® Internet, a leading provider of content delivery solutions powered by a patented global network, today announced it has joined the Microsoft Silverlight Partner Initiative. Microsoft Silverlight is the new cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich, interactive applications for the Web.

Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering richer user experiences on the Web. Silverlight significantly reduces development and deployment costs and provides enhanced Web audio and video streaming and playback using industry-leading Windows Media technologies.

Microsoft Corp. recognizes that relationships with companies such as Mirror Image will help drive demand for the platform as more Silverlight applications become publicly available. Mirror Image already delivers video and web content for Silverlight applications and this relationship will serve to create new business opportunities for Mirror Image.

"Mirror Image is pleased to become a Microsoft Silverlight Partner Initiative member," said Gustav Vik, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirror Image. "Microsoft is a proven leader in developing platforms for rich media. This new generation of technology will enable companies to create even richer experiences than was possible before, and Mirror Image is proud to deliver this advanced content for our current and future customers."

"We're very pleased to be working with Mirror Image Internet as a Silverlight Partner Initiative member to help deliver rich media content to customers," said Sean Alexander, Director of Silverlight Marketing at Microsoft.
