Telefonica, Akamai team up on content delivery
Telefonica has signed a global alliance with cloud services provider Akamai Technologies to provide its enterprise customers with Akamai’s portfolio of content delivery network (CDN) services. Akamai uses a widely-distributed platform of servers to spread online content around the world that would otherwise be concentrated in a few locations. Under the agreement, Telefonica will offer Akamai's CDN technology as part of its own global IP network services, with Spain and Latin America the initial focus for the alliance.

The multi-year agreement also encompasses the sharing of resources in areas such as technical support, customer care, marketing and professional services with a view to providing the best end-user experience. In addition, the companies announced their intention to jointly explore the development of innovative products and services in the fields of high-volume media optimization and mobile technologies.
