CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the world's largest and most
trusted cloud delivery platform, today previewed its planned
activities for IBC 2017, emphasizing its "Audience of You" mission
to help deliver the best possible experience for every over-the-top
(OTT) video viewer. For the first time in the event's history, IBC
will feature a dedicated forum focusing on cyber security and its
implications for broadcasters, where Akamai experts will be sharing
their knowledge.
Exhibiting at stand B52 in Exhibition Hall 5 at the RAI
Exhibition and Congress Centre in Amsterdam September
15th through 19th, demonstrations at
the Akamai booth will include:
- liveOrigin™ capabilities for Media
Services Live: On-demand and new live delivery solutions,
purpose-built from the ground up to support the rigors of 24/7
live/linear streaming. liveOrigin consists of four components –
broadcast-quality ingestion, low latency, self-healing network and
monitoring reporting – that together can help support the same
level of quality for linear video streaming that is expected of
traditional broadcast television.
- New 'Efficiency' capabilities for Media Acceleration
technology: Adding the ability for applications to access
content from multiple paths and sources. When enabled, the new
capabilities are designed to ensure that viewers securely receive
content via the most efficient available source – directly from the
Akamai Intelligent Platform or a nearby device streaming the same
content.
Introduced earlier this year, Akamai's Media Acceleration enhances
the performance of content delivered over the Internet to create
more engaging experiences for online audiences. By acting as an
extension to Akamai's content delivery capabilities, Media
Acceleration can be enabled by integrating technology directly
into a video application to enable a
consistent, reliable delivery experience for each end user
regardless of their circumstances or local network conditions.
- Innovations in video ad delivery: In collaboration with
advertising technology expert Yospace, Akamai will demonstrate
server-side ad stitching that can be delivered for live and
on-demand video streams on a viewer-level. Akamai's Dynamic Ad
Insertion is designed to help content providers offer greater
monetization opportunities through online advertising while
maintaining a TV-like experience for viewers at scale.
- Proactive monitoring and measurement capabilities:
Through the Akamai Broadcast Operations Control Center (BOCC) and
its Broadcast Operations Support System (BOSS), media analytics
tools can provide operational insight and telemetry from origin to
viewer for unprecedented control and visibility into video
operations and performance.
- Next-gen entertainment experiences: Including live and
on-demand virtual/augmented reality, and sub-second latency, high
dynamic range (HDR) video and 3D audio – technology innovations to
help deliver great experiences online.
Dealing with more than 9 million attacks every day and trusted
by the world's largest media companies, Akamai offers a range of
solutions to counter web-based cyber threats facing the media
industry today. This year, Akamai is proud to be the headline
sponsor of the first C-Tech Forum: Cyber Security at IBC 2017. The
one-day event within IBC is bringing together CTOs, CIOs, CISOs and
CDOs within the media and broadcasting sectors for a candid
conversation on what the cyber war means for them, how to
anticipate the next cyber threat, and how to manage a breach.
Akamai's Jay Coley,
Senior Director, Security Planning and Strategy will be
sharing his experiences in security across the IBC educational
conference tracks, including:
- Safety in Numbers: Collaborating Against Cyber-Attacks,
Friday, September 15th,
