Akamai Technologies has acquired Velocius Networks, a privately-funded company with quality of service (QoS) technology for optimizing application traffic across enterprise networks. The Velocius Networks QoS technology will complement Akamai's hybrid cloud optimization strategy 
for optimizing IP application traffic across the Internet for remote and branch end-users. The new solution which is to be integrated into Akamai's existing technology to provide traffic prioritization and shaping capabilities, enables enterprise-class service levels for customers accessing IP applications over the Internet.
"We see this acquisition as an important investment in engineering talent and technology that is intended to complement our hybrid cloud optimization strategy," said Tom Leighton, CEO of Akamai. "We believe Velocius Networks' QoS technology will further enable us to bring enterprise class of service to IP applications accessed over the Internet – an area where we have seen increased demand from our enterprise customer base." .Source - Akamai Network (Nov 11, 2013)
