Media 100 Inc. has announced that it is working with Intel Internet Media Services to provide high-bandwidth, highly-reliable hosting services for Internet broadcasters. Intel Internet Media Services will work with Media 100's streaming media services division to provide scalable streaming media hosting infrastructure from Media 100's encoding and hosting service centers. According to Media 100:

This will enable Media 100 to offer its roster of Internet broadcast clients worldwide - including Warner Brothers Online, MTVi, HBO and VH1 - with a global network of highly-reliable, high-performance streaming media hosting capabilities to facilitate the growing volume of streaming media content broadcast over the Internet 24 hours a day.
