SECURE DIGITAL DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR RETAILERS
Tornado Virtue's Secure Digital Delivery System (SDDS) is a scalable, secure and robust storage and delivery system enabling online retailers to sell digital content (downloads, streams) via the Internet.

Retailers can use Tornado Virtue's Secure Digital Delivery System (SDDS) to increase product sales and maximise revenue opportunities from the new formats and channels created by digital commerce. The mission critical Secure Digital Delivery System facilitates the distribution of any digital content including music, video, games & audio books while supporting multiple payment models and formats. Retailers can access digital content hosted by Tornado Virtue in one of two ways:

FULL INTEGRATION (FI)
Full Integration is possible when the retailer's site already has a shopping cart and e-commerce capabilities. In this scenario, Full Integration will enable the retailer to offer digital products via their existing user online environment. This means that the retailer's customer can order digital products alongside physical products in the same shopping cart. The Tornado Virtue Full Integration includes a 'Vendor Interface Toolkit' which significantly reduces the integration time required to interface a vendors' website with the Tornado Virtue systems. When vendors' website and Tornado Virtue systems are interfaced, Tornado Virtue provides the XML metadata of available content for display on the vendors' website.

COMPLETE E-COMMERCE SOLUTION (CECS)
The CECS solution is suitable for Internet sites that are not currently e-commerce enabled. This is the complete solution for retailers requiring a quick start into Internet distribution of digital content via a complete E-tailing 'Shop-in-a-Box'. This includes a fully functional retailing site for digital content distribution, customisable site style and branding, shopping cart functionality, credit card and pre-paid card processing and can be run on the vendors own hardware or by Tornado Virtue.

In both the Full Integration and the Complete E-commerce Solution the virtual fulfilment of the digital content is provided by Tornado Virtue, which means any download bandwidth is removed from the retail site, while Tornado Virtue remains invisible to the end user.
