Akamai Technologies, the cloud company that powers and protects life online, has announced that Yospace is the latest organisation to join the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV). Yospace provides dynamic ad insertion for media companies around the globe.

As an ISV in the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program, Yospace will provide media companies with the tools to improve their advertising businesses. Yospace has over a decade of operational experience, successfully delivering ad revenues in every video streaming scenario. Now, media companies everywhere can take advantage of Yospace’s server-side ad insertion (SSAI) on Akamai’s massively distributed edge and cloud platform.

“Akamai and Yospace have worked in partnership for many years. Akamai is the leading CDN for media delivery, bar none, and we are excited to extend our cloud compute strategy to become part of the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program,” said Tim Sewell, CEO, Yospace. “The future of premium video is online and we are going to see a massive scale-up of streaming audiences, coupled with an increased need to apply addressable advertising at scale. Our partnership with Akamai will help media companies achieve that scale and successfully grow their advertising revenues.”

“Akamai is pleased to make Yospace’s SSAI easily available to Akamai customers through the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program,” said Dan Lawrence, Vice President, Cloud Computing, Akamai. “Media companies across the globe are now able to apply advanced advertising strategies at scale across Akamai Connected Cloud, the world’s most distributed platform for cloud computing, security and content delivery.”

The Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program is designed to make solution-based services that are interoperable with Akamai cloud computing services easily accessible to Akamai customers. The services are provided by Akamai technology partners that complete a rigorous qualification process to ensure they are readily available to deploy and scale across the globally distributed Akamai Connected Cloud. The services are available individually or can work together to form a larger ecosystem of complementary capabilities, which can offer performance and cost benefits by running on a single global platform.
