Akamai has unveiled new video workflow capabilities at IBC 2024, offering media companies increased control and flexibility across the video delivery chain. By integrating Akamai’s cloud and delivery platforms with its growing partner network, the new capabilities allow customers to tailor their media workflows, choose preferred components, and run them where they see fit. This approach addresses the industry’s desire for more control, reduced costs, and the ability to move away from large legacy cloud providers, giving users the flexibility to deploy resources closer to end-users while maintaining central management.
In response to the increasing demand for customizable and portable media solutions, Akamai’s open platform supports multicloud architectures, minimizing vendor lock-in. The platform’s global reach and distributed cloud infrastructure offer unmatched price-performance, with lower egress fees and support for third-party applications. Additionally, Akamai has introduced media-optimized, NVIDIA-based GPUs to provide a more cost-effective and scalable solution for media companies. These advancements further empower media businesses to transport, process, deliver, and secure digital content efficiently. Akamai’s innovations will be showcased at IBC 2024 in Amsterdam.
