Welcome to Adaptive Media Delivery
Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD) is optimized for adaptive bit rate streaming to provide a high-quality, secure viewing experience across a broad variety of network types—fixed or mobile—at varying connection speeds. Built on the Akamai Intelligent Platform™, AMD provides superior scalability, reliability, availability, and reach.
AMD securely delivers prepared, pre-segmented HTTP-based live and on-demand streaming media.
Before you begin
Set up AMD
Follow these phases to get set up with a new AMD property.
-
Create a new AMD property. Quickly create a new AMD property in Property Manager.
-
Define Property Hostnames. Associate the domain for your streaming media with an Akamai domain, so requests for it resolve to the Akamai edge network where your media is cached.
-
Define Property Configuration Settings. Set up best practice delivery features to streamline and protect your content.

Finalize your AMD property. Do a few final things in and out of your Adaptive Media Delivery property to get ready to test it.
