Akamai Technologies announced it has a new technology to improve the viewing experience for people who watch over-the-top video services (such as Netflix). Akamai Media Acceleration, available today, is also able to accelerate video game and software downloads, which can be a huge chore for anyone who tries digital downloads.
Cambridge, Mass.-based Akamai said the new Akamai Media Acceleration marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Akamai’s content delivery capabilities in moving to a consumer-centric approach to online video and software distribution. Technology is integrated directly into consumer applications to optimize the experience for each individual end user.
