Case Study: OKAST scales FAST channels and cuts costs with Akamai Cloud Computing

OKAST launches 67% more FAST channels with Akamai

OKAST, a digital media company that helps brands launch streaming services and FAST channels, faced challenges scaling globally on AWS. The high costs and unpredictable pricing made it difficult to operate in their thin-margin business. They needed a more cost-efficient and stable cloud provider to ensure zero downtime for their channels without budget blowouts. They partnered with Akamai Technologies to explore its cloud computing services.

By migrating to Akamai's cloud computing services, OKAST gained a flexible, pay-as-you-go model that eliminated long-term commitments. This solution provided immediate results, allowing them to launch 67% more channels using the same resources. Akamai empowered OKAST with predictable costs and greater operational control, enabling them to scale smartly, enter new markets more competitively, and offer a stronger pitch to their own customers.
