Panther Express and Jango Team Up To Deliver Major Social Music Service

Jango Selects Panther Express to Deliver Fast, Reliable Streaming Music Experience for Millions of Users

New York, NY – (April 22, 2008) – Panther Express, a leading global provider of high-performance content delivery services, today announced they have been selected to provide rich media and audio delivery services for Jango.com (http://www.jango.com), a fast-growing new social music site which has quickly become one of the world’s most popular destination sites for listening to music and connecting with others who share similar tastes.

Dedicated to making online music easy, fun, and social, Jango is a free service that lets listeners create their own custom radio stations and share them with friends and others. Listeners just type in their favorite artists - and then their personal station will play the music they want, along with favorites of other Jango users who share similar tastes. And only on Jango can you actually see who’s listening to the same artists at the same time as you, who’s tuning in to your stations, and what music your friends are playing. With just a single click, you can tune in and listen – at any time – to any song playing on the more than 10 million stations created by the Jango social music community.

Jango is exploding in popularity in the five months since its public launch – with over 2.5 million monthly unique visitors tuning in, sharing music, discovering new artists and interacting with other users. Jango selected Panther Express because it could provide the best value solution to deliver their challenging rich media – both graphics and audio - required for a Web 2.0 social networking site based upon smooth, clean delivery of uninterrupted online music.

“Our audience demands the best – they want fast performance and responsiveness at all hours of the day and night,” said Dan Kaufman, CEO of Jango. “If our social community applications don’t work or if music skips or sounds distorted, our discerning and technically savvy members will go elsewhere for their music. To keep them happy, we have been using Panther Express for several months now and we, both management and tech staff, have been very impressed by the exceptional performance, support and reliability. Not only does Panther’s network architecture technically scale to meet our needs, but their service offering fits within the budget of a growing start up.”

“Jango is one of the hottest and most interesting Web 2.0 destinations on the web – it combines two things we love – music and social networking,” said Kevin Ryan, CEO of Panther Express. “They had their pick of CDNs, but ultimately chose Panther to partner with. We are very proud that Jango has recognized Panther Express’s expertise in delivering rich media – and we look forward to supporting their efforts to continually bring new and better user experiences to the social music landscape.”
