Keeping real-time performance while lowering infrastructure costs

TOKYO, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai Technologies GK has succeeded in reducing the outbound communication costs (egress costs) for the streaming servers of IRIAM Inc. to almost zero through its cloud service, Akamai Cloud. The move to Akamai Cloud has also contributed to reducing the overall cost of the streaming servers from one-third to less than one-tenth of the total cost of the cloud infrastructure.

IRIAM's key feature is its community-oriented structure, with close engagement between live streamers (who stream their content using the live-streaming platform) and listeners. To create streams that simulate talking face-to-face, IRIAM created a communication environment that prioritizes real-time performance and minimizes communication lag as much as possible. IRIAM aims to constrain lag to 0.1 seconds, and has independently developed and operates a communication method called the motion-live method.
