Swarmcast is dedicated to transforming the Internet into a reliable medium for distributing high-quality video. The company mission is to enable content providers to engage global audiences through high-quality viewing experiences.
How It Works:
Swarmcast's multi-source streaming platform enables the delivery of HD video, rock solid live and on-demand streaming, and accelerated downloads, while managing delivery costs. They are currently powering some of the most demanding media destinations on the Internet. Enabling content providers to scale to millions of simultaneous users, Swarmcast offers the most reliable distribution of high quality viewing experiences over the Internet.

Who Is Behind The Company:
1.Justin is the original inventor of "file swarming," a content delivery method that breaks large files into smaller data packets to efficiently exchange them over the Internet. In 2001, Justin founded Swarmcast to develop and market his file swarming technology. He was awarded a patent in 2007 for file swarming, which includes technologies commonly referred to as peer-to-peer, grid content delivery and multi-source streaming.
2.Ry4an co-founded Swarmcast with Justin Chapweske in 2001. He is an expert in file transfer and content delivery technologies, and played an integral role in writing the code for mutli-source streaming technology. Ry4an holds the position of CTO at Swarmcast, and is responsible for all aspects of the company's technical direction. His key functions include overseeing operations and software development, as well as coordinating with the business development team to create Swarmcast's long-term product roadmap. With more than a decade of software engineering experience, Ry4an honed his talents at a select group of companies.
Recent Updates:
A new set of software and services released last week by Minneapolis-based Swarmcast could help improve the quality of online video. Dubbed Autobahn HD for Flash, the product offers to speed often-congested video downloads and improve picture quality for many viewers.
