At the SDN & OpenFlow World Congress in Dusseldorf, Juniper Networks and Akamai Technologies are showing an Elastic Content Delivery Network that could prove to be a more flexible solution for scaling video delivery. The proof-of-concept demonstration uses Akamai's virtualized Aura Licensed CDN software and Juniper's Contrail Controller for SDN and network function virtualization to dynamically scale up and down network resources to support content spikes resulting from the broadcast of large events.
