The Forrester Wave™: Rich Media Content Delivery, Q2 2006

Akamai Leads In Our Services Evaluation
by Brian Haven

June 9, 2006

Forrester evaluated leading rich media content delivery vendors across 70 criteria and found that Akamai Technologies' expansive network and media experience established it as a leader in the category. However, robust reporting and delivery management capabilities make Nine Systems and VitalStream compelling options, and experience derived from a large client base demonstrates Limelight's strength. Companies expanding into rich media should give special attention to media and entertainment experience and flexibility with emerging distribution options like podcasting, mobile, and peer-to-peer (P2P) when selecting a content delivery network (CDN) partner.
