Akamai Technologies, Inc.
AKAM, announced today that it has acquired FastSoft, a provider
of content acceleration software, in a cash transaction. The acquisition is
expected to complement Akamai's cloud infrastructure solutions with technology
for optimizing the throughput of video – and other digital content – across IP
networks.
FastSoft was launched in 2006 to commercialize network optimization
technology. FastSoft's patented FastTCP algorithms improve Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP), adding intelligence designed to increase the speed of
dynamic page views and file transfer downloads while reducing the effects of
network latency and packet loss. FastSoft's unique technology has helped
improve website and web application performance across the first and last
miles, as well as through the cloud, without requiring client software or
browser plug-ins.
