LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM and MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired- Jun 24, 2014) - Ooyala, a leading innovator in multi-screen video streaming and analytics, today announced it is providing a comprehensive video solution for the website of Ziggo, the largest cable operator in the Netherlands, in partnership with Basefarm. Ziggo now uses a combination of Ooyala and Basefarm's technology solutions and services to power online content on its refreshed consumer website www.ziggo.nl.

To help meet increasing demand for integrated web and video content management solutions, Ooyala formed a strategic partnership with Basefarm, a leading European managed services provider for mission critical business applications.
