When The World Is Watching: How Akamai and MediaKind combine cloud scale, broadcast-grade video and intelligent workflows for the biggest live moments
"This summer’s World Cup once again showed what happens when the world turns up at the same time. Millions of viewers, enormous traffic peaks and no room for interruption make major live events the ultimate test of streaming infrastructure.
