CAMAS, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/01/09 -- Abacast Inc., a leader in real-time streaming solutions, today announced the availability of Adobe Flash support on its Live Peer-Assisted (P2P) Delivery platform. The Flash option is fully integrated into Abacast's industry-leading Live Peer-Assisted Delivery technology. With over 50 million client installs and millions of hours of consumer video delivery, Abacast Live Peer-Assisted Delivery is the most reliable, tested, and scalable peer-assisted delivery platform in the industry.

"With this release we are providing our customers the benefits of our peer-assisted solution, including proven longer audience engagement and thus more ability to monetize content, now utilizing the world's most popular video format," said Jim Kott, Abacast Co-President.

Abacast's Live Peer-Assisted Delivery combines the security, quality, and control of traditional unicast technology with the efficiency and resiliency of peer-assisted delivery. The result is a very secure, high quality delivery network that provides the highest video bit-rates and a higher quality of service (Qos) than traditional server-based delivery.
