Arris, Akamai Partner on IP Video Delivery

A cable equipment maker and a Web content caching provider are working together on IP video delivery. Arris said Wednesday it will integrate Akamai's Aura Licensed Content Delivery Network and Aura Object Store into its IP video products such as network DVRs and media servers. It gives "operators a variety of choices for streamlining, managing, and scaling digital content delivery," they said in a news release. "It will also support operators as they adopt multiscreen and mobile delivery platforms." Cable operators and others are increasing the amount of video they deliver in IP (see report in the Dec. 24, 2013, issue).
