Akamai and InfoLibria to Integrate Cache Interface Standard
Akamai is teaming with InfoLibria to achieve interoperability between DynaCache - which Internet service providers use to optimize the delivery and management of Web pages, high-quality audio, and video content - and Akamai's Internet content delivery service, FreeFlow. The added functionality will be derived from the development of a new standard for communications called the Cache Interface Protocol. DynaCaches will store Akamai content and report performance data - such as the number of hits served - to Akamai Web site customers. DynaCache users will be able to take advantage of the product's performance, while participating in Akamai's network.
"As Internet content becomes increasing rich and bandwidth-intensive, there is a growing need for content to be distributed throughout the network for fast, high-quality delivery," said Ian C. Yates, president and CEO of InfoLibria. "Akamai and InfoLibria are both working toward this goal - Akamai providing a service and InfoLibria selling the equipment - and together we offer a powerful solution."
InfoLibria's award-winning DynaCache can be installed in both Internet service provider and corporate networks. The product enables value-added services for Internet service providers, improves response time and availability for Web pages, and enables the deliver of high-quality video and audio content, without requiring the reconfiguration of network devices or browsers.
