Video network standardizes on Akamai framework
Akamai Technologies Inc. of Cambridge said today that a large video ad network in Germany has standardized on Akamai's Media Player Framework for its online advertising customers.
Akamai provides managed services for powering rich media, dynamic transactions, and enterprise applications online. The German company is smartclip AG.
Akamai said in a press release, "With Akamai and smartclip, premium content owners and publishers can take advantage of turnkey solutions to deliver and monetize digital video content."
"The open standards provided through Akamai's Media Framework allow for a massive inflow of media buying against rich media," Tim Napoleon, chief strategist for digital media at Akamai, added in a statement.
