As more video content is distributed via the internet, the infrastructure must be expanded to manage the huge increase in traffic, while still providing a high level of service. Velocix helps content owners, carriers and ISPs to balance the competing needs of these challenges by providing a suite of peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic management tools that are leaders in the field. Velocix products and services allow customers to achieve significant cost savings through the intelligent use and management of P2P traffic across their networks, without affecting the customer experience.

Amadeus was attracted to Velocix because of its depth of knowledge and experience in the P2P area, and the superiority of its technology in solving what will only become a more difficult problem for people using the internet in the future. Not only is Velocix well-positioned at the moment in the P2P market, it has a pipeline of products that will increase its advantage in this market.

Amadeus led a $20 million Series ‘C’ financing round in 2006 that included existing investors 3i, Pentech Ventures and the Cambridge Gateway Fund. The new funding will allow the company to capitalise further on its leading position in providing P2P support by expanding into new geographical areas and extending its product portfolio.
