SMG BesTV Mobile Success Story
BesTV Mobile is one of China’s largest media groups owned by Shanghai Media Group (SMG). BesTV Mobile is a new video service for mobile phones in China. As part of the system launch, ChinaNetCloud designed, built, and managed a full new Content Distribution Network (CDN) to provide premium video services in this exciting new distribution channel.

- Infrastructure needed to be scalable to hundreds of millions of users
- Need to launch on iPhone within only 3 weeks

- Need to be fully load balanced, High Availability Architecture solution
- Need of 24x7 server management
The Solutions:

The Results:
NetCloud was able to deliver their entire working system before their three week deadline:

- Scalability to allow continual additional new servers quickly at low cost
- 24x7 fully-managed systems keep them up and running all around China
