Bengaluru, India, 26 April 2023 – Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM), the cloud company that powers and protects life online, today introduced new cloud computing capabilities for streaming video. The capabilities are designed to help OTT operators deliver higher quality and more personalized video experiences to viewers. They can also help operators realize lower, more predictable operational costs and improve efforts to monetize content. Additionally, Akamai announced enhancements to its support of the Common Media Client Data (CMCD) specification and highlighted the latest members of its Qualified Computing Partner program.

Cloud power, scale

OTT services today operate the types of complex applications and demanding workloads that Akamai cloud computing services are ideally suited to handle. Built on Akamai Connected Cloud, the massively distributed edge and cloud platform for cloud computing, content delivery, and security, developers can use Akamai cloud computing services to build, run, and secure applications and workloads that are best suited to where and how their viewers connect. For viewers, that means low-latency, high-performing experiences; for OTT operators, it means global scalability with lower-cost and predictable pricing.

“Whether you’re building the app or paying the invoices from cloud providers, Akamai cloud computing services are uniquely capable to help cover the gamut of development, cost control, and viewer experience,” said Jon Alexander, Vice President, Product Management, Akamai. “We’re giving OTT operators a host of powerful new cloud computing functions, scaling them across our global platform, and backing them with Akamai content delivery and security services.”

In addition, Akamai is adding new use cases to its EdgeWorkers serverless computing capabilities that address needs around content personalization, rights management and security for streaming video. The use cases support DASH and HLS streaming protocols:

Manifest and Playlist Manipulation: Decrease storage requirements and costs for operators while providing improved viewing experiences for end users by using EdgeWorkers to dynamically personalize manifest file elements such as bitrate ordering, resolution filtering, and subtitles at the edge, closer to viewers.
Program Replacement: Deploy faster, more flexible pre-delivery content stitching for both live and on-demand video. Operators can insert content pre-, mid-, and post-roll into video streams based on criteria such as geolocation and time of day to satisfy requirements such as rights restrictions or local ratings.
Watermarking: Better track and mitigate live and on-demand video piracy with A/B content watermarking that is compliant with the new DASH Industry Forum (DASH-IF) specification support for any watermarking technique, encoder, and CDN.

Performance improvements, more insight

To help OTT operators improve the viewing experience and obtain additional visibility into video performance, Akamai is enhancing its support for the CMCD specification. Created by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the specification enables device-based media players to send playback information to Akamai and other CDNs. Akamai is using CMCD to intelligently pre-fetch content, which can improve video start-up time and reduce buffering.

With CMCD support, OTT operators can also benefit from more consistent, reliable metrics on viewer quality of experience. The CDN receives meaningful client-side data and affords the low-latency, high-volume processing power to generate logs that can be delivered to third-party analytics tools for reporting and analysis.

Partner workflow solutions

Akamai is also highlighting the members of its Qualified Computing Partner program that provide solution-based services for media workflows. The services are interoperable with Akamai Connected Cloud and are available through partners that have completed a thorough qualification process.

• Ateme: Ateme provides video compression and delivery solutions helping tier-one content providers, service providers, and streaming platforms to boost their viewership and engagement.
• Capella Systems: Capella Systems offers software-based VOD transcoding, live encoding, and packaging solutions that can be installed on-premise, in the cloud, or as a hybrid solution.

• Hydrolix: Hydrolix can power observability for Akamai customers with built-in dashboards and allows for real-time data ingestion at any scale, lightning-fast query performance, and extensive data retention at a fraction of the cost of other services and platforms.

• LiveSwitch: LiveSwitch provides critical video infrastructure that powers the most engaging and interactive real-time communications and entertainment experiences on the web.
• Macrometa: The Macrometa Global Data Network enables new dynamic, real-time services, such as intent-based content search, tailored recommendations, and impactful cohort mapping for Direct Ad Insertions (DAI) and Server Side Ad Inclusion (SSAI).

April 26, 2023, New Delhi- Canada-based global education company M Square Media (MSM) has named Raghwa Gopal as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective April 2023.

Gopal takes the reins from Sanjay Laul, who founded MSM in 2012 as a first-generation entrepreneur who created a unique, risk-free, transparent model to bridge higher education institutions closer to their target students in India, Africa, and elsewhere in the world. Laul will remain an advisor to MSM.

Gopal draws from extensive business experience and joins MSM from the British Columbia government agency Innovate BC, where he was president and CEO, helping companies start and scale to fuel technology development, commercialization, and adoption in the Canadian province.

A former CEO of Accelerate Okanagan (AO) and a driving force in the development of its technology sector with a CA$1.6 billion economic contribution, Gopal is a graduate of New Zealand’s Central Institute of Technology in information technology, Australia’s Collier MacMillan School, and the University of the South Pacific.

In addition to being a serial entrepreneur, Gopal is also extensively involved in higher education. He is a former lecturer of business at UBC Okanagan and computer science at the School of Arts and Sciences as well as entrepreneur-in-residence at Okanagan College School of Business. He sat on multiple boards including the University of British Columbia, India Canada Innovation Council, Women’s Enterprise Centre, and the Province of B.C.’s Emerging Economy Task Force.

“It is our pleasure to have Raghwa, a technology leader and seasoned entrepreneur, helm MSM at such an exciting time of growth and global expansion,” said MSM Founder Sanjay Laul. “The depth and breadth of his experience bodes well for the organization as student mobility increases in the years and decades to come, and in our work toward making education accessible to all across diverse lines of business and collaboration with HEIs, agents, and students worldwide.”

Of his appointment as CEO of the 750-strong organization present in 20 countries around the globe, Gopal said: “Leading a tech-driven education company makes utmost sense to me, having been raised in a very poor family and persevering to build tech companies and business ecosystems that help pluck people out of unemployment and poverty.”

“I’m optimistic about how MSM will serve more aspiring international students worldwide, bridge them closer to their dream campuses, and facilitate key partnerships with schools, government, and entire communities for a brighter future for all,” Gopal added.

MSM offers sustainable recruitment and internationalization solutions through in-country offices, the AI-powered ed-tech platform MSM Unify, pathways & public-private partnerships, and a full suite of global education solutions.

In a day how much data is generated? The number may be unfathomable for a common man, but reports estimate that every day more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are being generated. With this amount of data being generated, data management becomes tricky. Irrespective of the infrastructure and best solutions and platforms available organizations, DCs and cloud service providers cannot use traditional data management tools. This is why experts today recommend combining data management with AI to ensure that every data generated is treated rightly.

Today artificial intelligence has captured every path we walk on enhancing our experience and providing better outcomes. It is the same reason why data management needs the support of AI which automates a huge portion of the process that usually involved manual work. By using AI in data management businesses can analyze and process large amounts of data quickly and accurately.

By a typical definition, data management is practices, architectural techniques, and tools for achieving consistent access to and delivery of data across the spectrum. Data management helps migrate workloads and applications across infrastructures to Cloud or a Virtual environment with minimal or no downtime for increased business agility. Provides end-to-end Heterogeneous Business Continuity & DR Solutions helping achieve RTO, RPO and retention SLAs’ in on-premise, private or hybrid cloud. Aides business intelligence solutions with best-in-class visual analytics and ease of use capability helping customers transform data into actionable insights. Finally, provides a complete end-to-end enterprise management framework from network to applications to the web and now IOT with a single pane of glass for management. The inclusion of artificial intelligence only enhances these deliverables.

How can AI help data management specifically?
There are predominantly three categories in which AI can enhance the functioning of data management tools:
Data Integration: Data integration is the core of data management. It is the process of combining data from multiple sources and consolidating the data for operational and analytical uses. Now with artificial intelligence (AI), organizations can more efficiently analyze large sets of information and share their analyses across their business. AI in data integration allows organizations to proactively respond to issues related to their data quality rather than reacting in an ad-hoc, unstructured manner.

Data Classification: This involves obtaining, extracting and structuring data from various sources and endpoints. The unstructured data is a loss to the organization, which is why classification is necessary. It can help organizations classify data at scale using automation. The major aspect to have a successful data classification is to ensure the organization has outlined a data classification process that fits its business needs. Companies can know their current position regarding the risk of the data they manage, allowing proactive management and security.
Data Security: AI-driven security tools are capable of reducing the risks and even managing many of the threats to data security. The quick and precise analysis of data by AI helps organizations in having a real-time picture of the vulnerabilities. Using AI organizations can triage security alerts and formulate an understanding of which threat is important and needs immediate attention.

As data is being generated at great speed and number, AI is the most useful tool to have. The data generated in an unstructured form needs the support of AI to be useful to the concerned teams. With data management using AI in making the process provide near-perfect results companies can utilize the data sets customized to their needs. AI and data are the future of development for every vertical and data management is the facilitator to achieving the target.
