XIHA Life, the world's first truly multilingual and multicultural social network, partnered with MySites to give its users unlimited HD video uploads with no length or resolution restrictions. MySites already hosted XIHA Life's game library and provided the cloud storage infrastructure behind the service.

XIHA Life operated across more than 200 countries, with no single country accounting for more than about 5 percent of its traffic, and supported blogs, homepages, games, music, and photography alongside video. It was led by co-founder and CEO Jani Penttinen, with offices in Sunnyvale, Switzerland, and Finland. MySites was based in Helsinki.

Ramine Darabiha, MySites CEO: "Film creatives worldwide can now share their latest creations in their full glory, without the restrictions found on YouTube and other sites."

Jani Penttinen, XIHA Life: "MySites is the most social-minded cloud storage service available, and we expect our global audience to create a vibrant multicultural movie scene."
