AT&T has announced it will provide expanded enterprise hosting and voice services to Paltalk (News - Alert), a real-time, video-based online community, in a bid to support their subscriber base and interactive capabilities.


With more than 4 million active users, Paltalk hosts the world's largest interactive video community, PaltalkScene, offering thousands of users the ability to watch and interact with online video programming, including serialized shows, live events, and user-generated content, as well as interact with each other through real-time voice, text and video chat.

AT&T (News - Alert) Enterprise Hosting Services will provide uninterrupted access and increased bandwidth to deliver an unmatched user experience on Paltalk's online community.

AT&T will also host Paltalk's applications in local Internet data centers (IDCs), which are protected from intrusion and failure by multilayered security, fail-safe redundancy, diversity measures and rapid response recovery measures.

By using AT&T's IDCs, Paltalk will benefit from an optimal hosting environment for all Web and data applications while also having the ability to control and manage applications independently.

"By expanding our relationship with AT&T, we can continue to offer a uniquely interactive community experience to our users around the world through voice, video and text chat applications," Joel Smernoff (News - Alert), president and chief operating officer of Paltalk said.

"Our working relationship with AT&T has spanned many years, and it has supported us through each evolution of our business during that time. Our users are so engaged on Paltalk 24/7 that the volumes of data keep increasing, making increased bandwidth a priority. Being able to use AT&T's global infrastructure gives us peace of mind as we continue to deliver more functionality to our users around the world."
