FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 20, 2008 -- Video Furnace (www.videofurnace.com) today signed an agreement with Techex (www.techex.co.uk), Europe’s largest distributor of video transmission technology, to resell Video Furnace System 4 throughout Europe, effectively increasing market coverage by at least 33 percent.

Video Furnace System 4 provides Techex customers with an easy to deploy, affordable to maintain and simple to use solution for organizations to securely and cost-effectively deliver live, broadcast and on-demand TV-quality video to any network-connected computers and TVs. The Video Furnace solution supports all operating systems and does not require any resident player software, browser plug-ins or hardware on the connected devices, which is an industry first.

“The Techex team has a long track-record of success selling video transmission solutions to companies around the globe, said Howard Weinzimmer, Video Furnace CEO. “Their depth of product knowledge, broad market reach and dedicated support staff make them an ideal partner to present our IP video solution to enterprise, education, financial services and other industries looking for a complete video delivery solution.”

“We’ve been selling video streaming and VOD products for a very long time, and in our view, Video Furnace is the most complete, powerful system available,” said Chris Bailey, managing director, Techex. “Organizations and schools want a solution that’s quick to deploy and easy for end-users to operate; Video Furnace is up and running in no time and requires no training what-so-ever. It couldn’t be more intuitive. What’s more, because it is a software-centric solution, it provides an easy and economic upgrade path when new functionality is available.”

Video Furnace recently inked deals with two other companies to expand its market awareness and reach: Meru Networks and the Open Student Television Network (OSTN).

“Video Furnace experienced tremendous growth last year. We added a number of prestigious customers in the enterprise, education and government arenas, and we signed on several new resellers with worldwide reach,” said Weinzimmer. “We have even more aggressive growth plans for this year, and these new deals will help fuel that growth.”
