Cisco and Qwilt announce a new partnership with Japan Internet Exchange Co. Ltd. (JPIX), to improve the quality and delivery capacity of live streaming, video-on-demand, and media applications across Japan using Qwilt's open caching technology. Through the company's partnership with Cisco and Qwilt, JPIX will deploy Qwilt's Edge Cloud for Content Delivery solution in the heart of its exchange network.

The deployment will allow service providers, including CATV operators, CDNs, and content publishers throughout Japan to enjoy the benefits of Qwilt's solution for content delivery. JPIX is already recruiting and onboarding content publishers to utilize the service, with J-Stream – one of Japan's pre-eminent streaming companies with the largest market share in Japanese online video consumption – being one of the first. J-Stream will use Qwilt's open caching-based solution running on Cisco's edge infrastructure to improve the quality of its streaming media delivery in Japan.
