Expands Leadership Position in Fast-Growing Campus Network Market

NEWTON, MA – Oct. 29, 2015 – Following successful debuts last spring, the University of San

Diego (USD) and Charleston Southern University (CSU) welcomed back students this fall with

improved over-the-top (OTT) and other streaming video experiences enabled by PeerApp

(http://www.peerapp.com/), a leader in helping campuses optimize their networks ̶including

ResNets ̶to accelerate and optimize content delivery.

PeerApp, which has more than 50 higher education customers, offers local content delivery

solutions that enable campus network operators to provide students, faculty and administrators

with fast, high-quality on-campus access to live gaming, broadcast-quality TV programming,

movies, live sporting events, and other popular content, as well as online educational tools and

experiences.

Douglas Burke, senior director of Network Infrastructure Systems and Services at USD stated,

“PeerApp has saved us approximately 25-35 percent of our Internet bandwidth and our students

have stopped complaining about network speed. Additionally, in the past we have seen our

Internet slow to a crawl with every new iOS upgrade. Today the first upgrade downloaded is

cached and served to the USD community over our internal 10-Gig network, dramatically

accelerating download time.”

In addition to greatly enhancing the quality of experience (QoE) for students, faculty and

administrators, PeerApp helps higher education campus IT and networking professionals control

and significantly cut operating and capital expenses.

“Since the installation of PeerApp, students have noticed the increase of delivery speed for their

streaming content,” said CSU Wireless Administrator Mike Onorato. “By generating over 200

Mbps, our students’ on-campus experience has improved leaps and bounds.”

Shannon M. Phillips, executive director of Information Technology Services at Charleston

Southern, added, “In the university setting, streaming content is one of the biggest challenges IT

professionals face. By generating additional bandwidth through caching, PeerApp allowed us to

take that challenge head on, delaying a costly bandwidth upgrade. Because of PeerApp,

streaming content on our ResNet is more reliable, and our students are happy.”

“The PeerApp open caching deployments at USD and CSU expand our leadership position in the

campus network market,” said Mary Valentino, senior vice president for PeerApp in North

America. “Our local content delivery solutions work extremely well in campus networks, and

we’re pleased to have the opportunity to help the University of San Diego and Charleston

Southern better serve campus customers with higher quality OTT and other streaming video

experiences.”
