Digital Media Acceleration

Businesses that rely on digital media delivery face several challenges in a highly competitive environment. Using the Internet to deliver video and other digital media is affordable and ubiquitous, but bandwidth limitations and questionable last-mile reliability can frustrate recipients by wasting countless hours waiting for downloads to complete.

Content delivery network (CDN) owners and operators must balance service differentiation with expensive infrastructure build-out as they strive to keep up with demand and serve global recipients.

And everyone working with digital media is concerned about content security and piracy.
