Surgient Earns 'Editor's Choice' Award at Streaming Media West; QoS and Benchmark Performance Separate Surgient From Other Streaming Vendors

    AUSTIN, Texas, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Streaming Magazine, the industry's
premiere streaming and content delivery publication, presented Surgient
Networks with its 2002 Editor's Choice Award in recognition of Surgient's
eQ2500(TM) open hardware platform with QoS during the recent Streaming Media
West Conference, in Los Angeles, Ca.
    Each year, Streaming Magazine publishes its "Readers' Choice" awards in
its April issue and also announces a special "Editor's Choice" award during
both the Streaming Media West and East shows.  Surgient was recognized for its
introduction of the industry's first real-world streaming platform that
includes QoS capabilities.  This QoS function allows for the metering and
monitoring of all types of content to promote future revenue opportunities for
both service providers and enterprises.
    "Streaming Magazine periodically analyzes specific segments of the
Streaming market in search of hot companies, trade organizations and
individual business executives affecting the ever increasing implementation of
Streaming solutions," said Streaming Magazine managing editor Doug Wyllie.
"Streaming Magazine proudly recognizes Surgient Networks as a Hot Company in
Hardware for its rich media content delivery platform, the Surgient eQ2500."
    "We appreciate this recognition from Streaming Magazine and will continue
to create new performance and reliability standards for the rich media
marketplace," said Nagi Rao, President and CEO of Surgient Networks.
"Surgient has put a lot of work into creating an enterprise class product that
can withstand the real-world performance associated with today's streaming
demands.  Most of the streaming products currently on the market simply cannot
match Surgient's level of stability, performance and quality."
