Akamai’s Adaptive Media Delivery is optimized for Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) streaming to provide a high-quality, secure viewing experience across the broad variety of network types — fixed or mobile — at varying connection speeds. Built on the Akamai Intelligent Platform™, Adaptive Media Delivery provides superior scalability, reliability, availability, and reach.
The solution securely delivers prepared, pre-segmented HTTP-based live and on-demand streaming media, including support for the following video and music formats:
HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)
HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS)
Microsoft Smooth Streaming (MSS)
Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH)
Common Media Application Format (CMAF)
While Adaptive Media Delivery is both workflow- and origin storage-agnostic, Akamai’s complementary Media Services Live and NetStorage or Cloud Wrapper can be combined with Adaptive Media Delivery for an efficient, high-quality streaming media solution.
