Cerberus Tech Expands Livelinks Multi-Cloud Capabilities...

Cerberus Tech, a leader in cloud-native IP video contribution and distribution, today announced the addition of Akamai Cloud as a supported infrastructure option within its Livelink platform. The integration gives customers another way to deploy environments and orchestrate live video processing workflows using the same interface.

The addition of Akamai Cloud forms part of Cerberus Tech's broader multi-cloud offering, which already supports AWS, Google Cloud, and DigitalOcean, designed to give customers genuine choice and familiarity over where their infrastructure runs. This approach helps avoid dependency on a single provider while allowing teams to balance performance, scale, geographic reach, and cost in a way that aligns with the specific demands of live and file-based video workflows.

Our multi-cloud approach is about giving customers control rather than forcing them into a single provider's way of working, said Chris Clarke, co-founder at Cerberus Tech. By adding Akamai Cloud as a supported option within Livelink, customers can deploy where it makes the most sense for them without changing how they operate. This familiarity and ease of use drives efficiency, which remains a top priority for all media and broadcast operations teams.

Why Cerberus Tech is expanding its multi-cloud support

Many media and broadcast workflows are still constrained by one-size-fits-all cloud models. In practice, this often leads to higher costs, unnecessary complexity, or architectures shaped more by provider tooling than by the actual needs of the workflow.

Cerberus Tech has taken a different approach from the outset. Livelink is built as a broadcast-first platform, using raw cloud components compute, networking, and egress to create systems that are purpose-built for live video processing and distribution use cases.

By adding Akamai Cloud, Livelink customers can:

Deploy primary and backup environments across different cloud providers

Reduce exposure to global outages or provider-specific issues

Avoid lock-in and protect against unexpected pricing or service changes

Select the most appropriate cost and performance model for each workflow

How Akamai Cloud fits into Livelink

Akamai Cloud offers a compelling balance between scale and egress economics. For customers running high-throughput media workloads, this provides access to lower egress costs than some hyperscale providers, without sacrificing the ability to scale environments as demand increases.

From an operational perspective, nothing changes. Akamai Cloud is now available as a supported cloud platform for launching new or existing environments within Livelink. Customers can deploy video processing pipelines on Akamai's infrastructure using the same UI and operational model they already use today.

Live video processing puts serious demands on infrastructure in terms of both performance and cost, said Zak Putnam, senior director of business development at Akamai. What Cerberus Tech has built with Livelink gives broadcast teams the flexibility to deploy where it makes sense for their workflows. We're excited to be part of their multi-cloud mix, especially for customers who need to balance scale with economics.

Teams interested in learning more about how Akamai Cloud support works within Livelink, or in discussing specific live and video processing use cases, are encouraged to get in touch with Cerberus Tech to arrange a conversation or product demonstration.
