While this is essentially a promotional post of my own doing for a friend and founder of Stax Networks, I can easily relate this back to the usual Brightcove and Flex focus of this blog in two ways. One of the founders of the company is J.J. Allaire, and the service can be very useful for Flex applications with a Java backend.
