Ben Silva, President of iVAST International, joins DG2L as Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing, including new business development. Silva, an industry acknowledged expert on MPEG-4 and digital media solutions, will report to Ankur Sheth.

"Our channel partners and end users alike were asking for a complete end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved.

 that could accommodate any media format, across a range of bit rates, and be scalable to deliver over any network type, from small to large deployments," commented Ben Silva. "We needed the flexibility to receive a request from a customer and be able to confidently say, 'yes we can,' regardless of the media format or network delivery platform."

"The acquisition of iVAST Inc., iVAST International, Inc., and Moirai Media Solutions will enable us to significantly expand the scope and influence of our product offerings," added Sheth. "The combination of DG2L's world-class engineering and development capabilities, iVAST Inc.'s technology and iVAST International's global sales and system integration channel network, best-in-breed technology partners and extensive installation experience, makes DG2L the largest provider of MPEG-4 solutions and the most complete media delivery solution provider in the world today. We intend to solidify our leading position through the acquisition of other digital media technology companies in the near future."

DG2L Delivers World's First End-to-End Solution

In any media deployment, the network or service operator must rely on a variety of vendors to create an end-to-end solution, with multiple product resellers and system integrators (SIs), all attempting to work together to create a solution. Typically, local SIs and solution resellers in each region are limited to the brands they carry. The end result is a very time-consuming and expensive integration process, and a significant slow-down in media deployment. Until today, there has been no one company to offer turnkey, end-to-end solutions on a global scale. With DG2L's acquisition of iVAST International, this has now changed.

"DG2L's engineering and development, combined with iVAST International's extensive channel, client base and best-of-breed technology vendors, establishes DG2L as the most comprehensive master SI/Distributor worldwide," added Silva. "From the entire integrated head end, to the most advanced interactive set top box, DG2L is the only vendor to offer a one-stop shop One-Stop Shop
