As one of the original content delivery networks (CDNs), Akamai Technologies possesses a broad infrastructure with global reach and a client list that includes Apple's iTunes Music Store, NBC, and Starz Entertainment Group's Vongo. Akamai lacks the tools that are needed by media companies to manage and monitor content, opting for integration with third-party services to fill the gap. But its technical, financial, and human resources afford it the capability to implement practically any solution that a client needs.
