RampRate’s Steve Lerner Moderates Content Delivery Summit 2010

New York, NY – May 3, 2010 – Steve Lerner, General Manager of RampRate’s Consulting Practice will be a moderator at the upcoming Content Delivery Summit 2010 being held May 10, 2010 at the Hilton New York in New York City. Steve will be moderating five key panels including:

• HD Video and Live Streaming: Revenue Generator or Marketing Hype?
• The CDN Ecosystem: Moving from Bit Delivery to Video Management
• Cloud Versus CDN: Service, Technology and Pricing Comparisons
• CDN Demos: The New Startups

The Content Delivery Summit is a 1-day conference developed and chaired by Dan Rayburn with the purpose of bringing together content owners, infrastructure providers, and Wall Street to discuss the business and technology of delivering video online.

While content delivery networks, cable operators, and ISPs are investing hundreds of millions of dollars into their infrastructure to support video, the business models for delivering and supporting video over IP are still unclear. The Content Delivery Summit provides a forum for the major broadcasters, cable operators, and content owners to discuss how they plan to make money from online video and the impact monetization will have on vendors within the industry. Additionally, infrastructure providers will provide insight into what they are building out for and what platforms and technologies they are investing in.

As General Manager of RampRate’s Consulting Practice, Steve leads client engagements that include sourcing of datacenters, infrastructure management, connectivity, and content delivery (CDN). Additionally, Steve runs benchmarking and operations analysis projects to help clients assess their current levels of spend, service, and efficiency. He is also a noted speaker on internet infrastructure and media technology, and has advised hundreds of financial firms with analysis of technology markets.
