the adoption of HTML5 and a common video format in MP4, all of
which allows us to do true streaming and sharing across all
platforms and devices," said Jay
Brooks, co-founder and CTO of Simian.
Akamai's NetStorage, the most globally distributed cloud-storage
solution on the market, offers automatic, geographically dispersed
