Agawi offering platform for streaming apps via Amazon Web Services

Streaming platform startup Agawi said it is expanding its offerings to enable app companies to stream their rich media apps to smartphones, tablets, and computers via Amazon’s web services cloud technology.

The Menlo Park, Calif.-based Agawi has created a platform that that streams a game or app directly to a device, even if it doesn’t have heavy-duty hardware or doesn’t have the software installed. Coupled with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) technologies, the Agawi streaming tech enables apps with 3D graphics capabilities to run smoothly on mobile devices.
