ActiveMARK Distribution Services

Download Services


ActiveMARK Download Services provide a complete infrastructure for managing the hosting and download of games for digital distribution. Download Services include a managed set of solutions that may be used together or separately to enable seamless distribution within the Trymedia Network while controlling costs, access and affiliate-tracking capabilities.

The ActiveMARK Download Services are comprised of three main components: Hosting Services, Download Administration and the Download Manager.

Hosting Services are available in our high-availability and fully redundant hosting infrastructure that is being replicated in North America and Europe. With a clustered architecture supported by multi-gigabit bandwidth and a Class 1 hosting facility, the ActiveMARK Download Service is powered by some of the most sophisticated and proprietary technology available. The solution is designed to maximize throughput while ensuring that download costs are spent on the best-performing titles and territories. Using the ActiveMARK Hosting Service also allows you to seamlessly track affiliate data by embedding an affiliate ID into each download. This affiliate ID travels with the title forever, enabling you to see both the long and short-term sales performance of each channel.

Download Administration allows you to define bandwidth-shaping rules that control how your bandwidth is used. For example, you can block countries, IP addresses/ranges and prioritize one title over another in distribution to maximize revenue. Moreover, your hosting and bandwidth information is swept nightly into the ActiveMARK Reporting and Administration system, giving you one-stop access for both sales and download metrics. This enables an unprecedented granular level of operational information, such as yield per megabyte downloaded.

The ActiveMARK Download Manager provides a complete and ad-ready solution for end-user download management. A small (150K) client application is optionally delivered ahead of the file download. This program allows the user to pause, stop and auto-restart their download, for example in the event of a loss of connectivity. If restarted the Download Manager automatically resumes where it left off, but can be terminated by the consumer at will. Once the download is complete, the application is automatically installed.

The Download Manager is an HTML-skinned application that can be completely customized on a per-product basis to offer discounts, bonuses, other products, or simply paid-for advertising.
