Amazon Web Services (AWS), a provider of Internet data storage and delivery services, is planning to release an unnamed content delivery service that will likely undercut the existing Content Delivery Network (CDN) competition to provide customers with faster and cheaper digital content delivery options.
Ogrant, a name that sooner brings the weedy horrors of The Handmaid's Tale to mind than collaboration-oriented student loans, has chosen the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network to improve its media applications process.
Toronto-based Ogrant is a collective of grant-providing entities that enables students to apply for grants and scholarships by letting them turn in videos and images in lieu of transcripts, letters of rec and essays. Ogrant members then vote for applicants that deserve a grant, based on their media submission.
Nirvanix's service is used to store and deliver the interactive entries developed by applicants.
