Kontiki Provides Peer-Assisted Content Delivery to Enterprise and Consumer Media Customers Worldwide

Kontiki, the leading provider of managed peer-assisted delivery for high-quality video and digital content, announced today that it has completed the anticipated divestiture from VeriSign, Inc. As a result, the assets previously comprising VeriSign’s Broadband Content Services business unit will be re-launched as Kontiki Inc., with funding from MK Capital.

The Kontiki Delivery Management System is a patented peer-assisted content delivery technology that enables the delivery of high-quality video and other rich media securely and efficiently at very large scale. Built on an award-winning peer-assisted content delivery and management platform, Kontiki is used by Fortune 500 companies for its massive scalability and network efficiency.

Originally founded in 2000 in Silicon Valley, Kontiki was acquired by VeriSign in 2006. Kontiki retains all of its global customers and several members of the original Kontiki management team, including Eric Armstrong, who has been named President of Kontiki; and Todd Johnson, formerly Chief Executive Officer of Kontiki, who is now Chairman of the Board.
