Delve Networks, a provider of video platforms, has entered into a strategic relationship with Akamai Technologies, provider of managed services for rich media, dynamic transactions, and enterprise applications online, that will reportedly allow Delve to offer customers a comprehensive video publishing service that includes video management and delivery including support of variable bit rate streaming technologies.
Delve claimed that its customers will have everything they need to publish video online, including video content ingestion, encoding, content management, syndication, analytics, monetisation, content delivery, easy to customise video players, APIs, multiple device support, and search. The Delve platform reportedly provides a point-and-click user interface that makes publishing video online accessible to anyone and any organisation.
Reportedly, Delve’s video platform leverages cloud computing to provide publishers with the ability to handle video delivery and pay only for what they actually use. This helps publishers in managing spikes in demand and removes the need to purchase, deploy, and maintain hardware and software.
Delve’s video platform reportedly includes patented semantic video technology which extracts information from within the video to provide search, meta-data tagging, and indexing capabilities.
Alexander Castro, CEO of Delve Networks, said: Delve is excited to team with Akamai to offer customers a complete video management solution utilising Akamai’s global network. Our joint effort will help us reach many more customers than we could reach alone. Increasingly we are looking for leading partners who can help us provide the best in video management and solutions for our customers. We can think of no one better than Akamai to work with.
Tim Napoleon, chief strategist for digital media at Akamai, said: A fast, efficient media distribution workflow based on industry standards is critical to any successful online business. Akamai’s mission is to support innovation and leadership in this space and Delve clearly offers an impactful solution. Providing unique and innovative capabilities, such as a cloud-based architecture and search inside, Delve’s video platform is not only technologically advanced, but also easy to use.
