Video Delivery Requires New Codecs, Improved Network Protocols and Analytics, According to ABI Research
Business Wire - Wed Oct 29, 9:06AM CDT
Standards committees and industry consortiums are working through a number of video standards to support UltraHD video as well as the next-generation of mobile video services, such as HEVC and DASH packaging. However, some pain points remain unaddressed by the majority of vendors going in predictable directions; meanwhile, a few trailblazers are working on disruptive innovations. Areas such as the inability of TCP delivery to keep up with high throughput demands, the lack of perceptual tools in modern codecs, as well as the inefficiency of storage within CDNs all pose significant additional challenges within the ecosystem. A number of innovative companies, from startups to more mature businesses, are addressing these issues: bitmovin, beamr, Akamai, Aspera (part of IBM), Vantrix, and Conviva.

Microsoft Cloud Revenues Leap; Amazon Is Still Way Out in Front
Marketwired - Wed Oct 29, 8:05AM CDT
New Q3 data from Synergy Research Group shows that Microsoft clearly has the highest growth rate among the leading cloud infrastructure service operators, while Amazon (AWS) remains the dominant cloud service provider. Microsoft grew its revenues by 136% on a rolling annualized basis, resulting in its worldwide market share growing to over 10% in Q3. AWS's cloud revenues jumped again after a relatively soft second quarter, resulting in its market share nudging back up to 27%. It is notable that although AWS's percentage growth rate may be substantially lower than Microsoft's, in absolute terms AWS revenue growth over the past four quarters is greater than Microsoft's total cloud infrastructure revenue over the same period -- AWS remains in a league of its own for scale. Behind the two leaders IBM is ranked third largest cloud operator with a 7% market share, followed by Google, salesforce and Rackspace.
