Utilize your origin or move to Akamai Connected Cloud block storage for hyperlocal access, high reliability, and scale.

Akamai’s fast, secure, highly reliable network optimizes the first, middle, and last mile, offering the best possible quality.
Users get an exceptional viewing experience that has been optimized for their device and connectivity anywhere.
Adaptive Media Delivery offers auth token verification (also called token auth), which is a process of generating tokens and associating them with an authenticated user session and then validating the request using these tokens to prevent unauthorized sharing of links to your content.
Adaptive Media Delivery reliably delivers prepared, pre-segmented HTTP-based live and on-demand streaming media. This includes support for the following formats:
Adaptive Media Delivery has an optional feature called content targeting that allows you to permit or deny access to your content based on region-specific values associated with the requesting user. For example, you can add the Content Targeting — Protection behavior and configure it to deny access to users in a specific geographic region, or only allow requests coming from a specific set of IP addresses.
Adaptive Media Delivery has an optional self-service feature called GeoDelivery to enable you to control from which countries or zones (groups of countries) your content is delivered from. You will be able to create “delivered-from” policies to include or exclude geos.
Adaptive Media Delivery has an optional failover feature that lets you switch from one origin to another, or send a specific HTTP status code to the requesting user, if a failure occurs on your primary origin. This will help ensure you have full availability of your content.
Adaptive Media Delivery has an optional feature called edge IP binding that enables you to deliver traffic from a small, static set of IP addresses in a scalable manner. You can add edge IP binding to accomplish the following:
Adaptive Media Delivery has a feature called watermarking. When a valid user requests content, watermarking distributes segments of content based on a pattern that’s unique to that user. If your content is pirated or redistributed, you can analyze the content and extract the user’s watermarking pattern to identify the user that originally leaked the content.
Adaptive Media Delivery reports provide an analysis of the delivery of your HTTP adaptive streaming formats. You create your own reports using a wide variety of metrics and dimensions such as average download time, midgress volume, country codes, and network type. You can use the analysis to improve the quality of your end-user viewing experience across a broad variety of network types, at varying connection speeds.
When we look at Akamai, we look at an extension of our team, and how do we deliver bits to end users with the highest quality and the lowest rebuffering, and Akamai has always proven to deliver time and time again. It’s been a fantastic relationship.

Learn how Adaptive Media Delivery can help you address common business problems and deliver high-quality media to your users, at scale.
Enables a multitude of linear streaming platforms to satisfy worldwide consumer needs, providing top-notch content to audiences of different scales and from various locations through a diverse range of devices and video formats.
Seamless integration tailored to user preferences, geographical location, and various other criteria, thereby enriching the advertising encounter and optimizing revenue for content providers.
Unmanaged coupon or promotional browser extensions and plug-ins can automatically inject codes at point of conversion costing your business revenue. Similarly, comparison browser extensions can divert a user away from your site, leading them to purchase the same product or service from a competitor’s site.
Affiliate fraud happens when a browser extension silently injects an iframe that loads a fraudulent referral ID and a third party takes credit for affiliate sales they didn’t make, abusing your affiliate program.
