The inspirational “Yes We Can” video was created by music star Will.i.am to inspire millions of Americans to vote for, now US President, Barack Obama. With such profound interest in the candidate, the principals were concerned that the popular US-based Dipdive hosting website would crash under the weight of millions of viewers worldwide. They needed a CDN service up and running within just hours that would support the Adobe® Flash® Media Server 3 streaming platform. CDNetworks, a leader in Adobe Flash deployment, was able to respond.

Just a few hours after Dipdive contacted CDNetworks, the CDNetworks’ US team was able to set up Dipdive on its global CDN infrastructure and began to immediately accelerate the delivery of the “Yes We Can” video to millions of people worldwide. As demand surged, CDNetworks efficiently managed the network traffic and insured reliable viewing via its robust CDN backbone. Demonstrating its flexible business operations, the CDNetworks team got rolling on the technical aspects of deployment and left the “paper trail” for the following week, providing millions of viewers their first view of now President Barack Obama.
