JoosyCloud

JoosyCloud startup in Raleigh NC

JoosyCloud is a Raleigh-based startup that improves the user experience for online video watchers, gamers, and music listeners. Changing the way content is delivered online, JoosyCloud takes the load off by distributing it directly between users. The result is less of a load on the CDN and a better experience for you. Each viewer acts as a server so the more watchers there are, the bigger the network gets. If they can’t improve your experience, it will simply fall back on the content delivery network. To make sure your data is secure, JoosyCloud uses industry standard encryption.
