Wornex International SRL is a technology company and ISP with its seat in Milan, Italy. From a target market perspective, although based in Milan, Italy, the company has international scope, philosophy and network deployment. Wornex technology is based upon NEXUS International Broadcasting Association (NEXUS-IBA) research and development of what is believed the first ever deployed CDN (Content Delivery Network) early in 1995.

NEXUS-IBA was founded in 1990 as a non-profit broadcaster and a non-commercial technology provider. Wornex International was created in 2001 as a ‘spin-off’ of the NEXUS-IBA opportunity. In this process, all technology (intellectual property) was transferred to Wornex International, along with the existing installations and customer base.

WorldDirector technology
WorldDirector has a clear differentiation from other CDN providers and ISPs. Since 1995 it has been used effectively to provide streaming audio and video to a number of small and large International broadcasters, including UNESCO radio, the United Nations and used to host the first beta sites of RealAudio streaming technology in 1995.

The positioning of WorldDirector provides Wornex International the following differentiators compared to similar services:


 * Globally distributed content delivery solution, with no single point of failure and high redundancy
 * Provides embedded locally and/or globally distributed load balancing
 * Fully managed solution, avoids manual configuration
 * No content modification on the origin server(s)
 * Automatic reconfiguration in case of multiple failures
 * Applicable to all Internet protocols, not just http
 * Platform (server and client) independent
 * Proven technology (since 1995) in a large corporate, non profit or government environment
 * Flexibility with the ability to adapt technology and deployment to each situation
 * Lower cost of operation and higher availability
 * Used optionally to implement transparent, multi-homed, globally distributed and always-on disaster recovery solutions (i.e. e-commerce)

Wornex WorldDirector technology can be licenced to ISPs as well as medium or large corporations to include their own Point of presence or web Farms, along with existing and future Wornex International POPs. The WorldDirector network is otherwise fully managed by Wornex International as a service to host Internet based applications, streaming or file repositories.
