Move Networks offers clients end-to-end delivery of streaming and on-demand video content, complete with encoding, packaging and monitoring of video files. Move's solutions have drawn considerable praise from partners, and Microsoft continues to deepen its strategic relationship with Move as it rolls out its Silverlight player. Move and Microsoft partnered to stream the Democratic National Convention, and handled millions of streams over the four-day event. 

A big selling point for Move's solution is a scalable pay structure and delivery architecture for large events, bringing cost per viewer down as total audience increases. Its metrics deliver in-depth information about how a video is being consumed, giving clients many clues into successful monetization of their content. 

Move has received more than $67 million in funding to date. It has major deals with ABC, Fox, Discovery, ESPN 360 and Televisia, streaming content from these publishers and many others through its media player.
