of Rich Media on Enterprise Networks
STREAMING MEDIA WEST 2000, SAN JOSE, Calif. - December 12, 2000 - Virage, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRGE), a leading provider of software products and application services that enable video for the Internet and CacheFlow® Inc. (NASDAQ: CFLO), the leading provider of content-smart networking solutions, today announced a partnership for high-performance delivery of streaming services to the enterprise. The Virage-CacheFlow solution will provide enterprises with a cost-effective and feature-rich way to publish, manage, access and distribute rich media on their intranets or extranets. The joint combination will ensure a high-quality end-user experience by delivering Virage-enabled video content directly from the edges of the enterprise network with CacheFlow appliances.

"Virage is pleased to be working closely with CacheFlow to create an end-to-end solution for managing and distributing video in the enterprise environment," said Carlos Montalvo, chief marketing officer at Virage. "The combination of the Virage Video Application Platform and CacheFlow's streaming-enabled caching solutions addresses the major economic and technical challenges faced by corporations using streaming media today: reducing bandwidth costs, allowing efficient access and distribution of video and ensuring a high-quality user experience."
"Combining CacheFlow's distributed networking devices with Virage's video content management and publishing solutions provides corporations with a complete solution for easily scaling streaming content delivery," said Patrick Harr, VP of marketing at CacheFlow. "Delivering rich media to the network edge requires a new platform that can effectively manage distributed content as well as cost-effectively scale to meet constantly increasing demand."
