Du partners with Akamai Technologies for e-business cloud services

UAE telco Du has announced its strategic alliance agreement with Akamai Technologies aimed at bringing a new dimension in efficient and secure delivery of e-business services to its business customers.

Leveraging Akamai’s global EdgePlatform, the agreement will provide Du’s business customers with a worldwide content reach and the ability to significantly enhance the customer experience of their end users.

Du will thus be able to offer faster delivery of secure cloud based delivery services such as HD video streaming, application, and site delivery to its business customers via Akamai’s globally distributed delivery platform. The content will be sourced from the nearest cloud of Akamai’s geographically distributed 95,000+ servers, within over 1,000 networks of Akamai coverage in 75 countries.

Furthermore, access to content of Du’s corporate clients will be much faster to their end users for any kind of media, both online as well as on mobile devices.

Earlier this year Ericsson entered a strategic alliance with Akamai, a leading content deliverer, to bring to market mobile cloud acceleration solutions aimed at improving end-user Internet experiences such as mobile e-commerce, enterprise applications and Internet content, is a clear indication of Ericsson’s intent to be relevant across the entire cloud delivery chain.
