Akamai Image & Video Manager
Automatic image and video optimization and transformation on Akamai's CDN, sold under negotiated enterprise contracts.
Relevant only to organisations already on Akamai delivery contracts, because Image & Video Manager is an add-on to those contracts with no self-serve sign-up. There is no public price and no credible figure for the product on its own, so cost depends entirely on what sales quotes; the Akamai CDN entry has Akamai-wide contract figures. Akamai publishes a customer DPA, but regional data controls are contract-specific rather than a listed option.

Pricing
No calculated bill is available. Ask the vendor for a quote for your workload. How to read these estimates.
No public price; sold through annual contracts.
No public price and no self-serve sign-up. Image & Video Manager is an add-on to Akamai delivery contracts, quoted by sales. No credible public figure for this product alone, so typical_annual_usd is omitted (see the Akamai CDN entry for Akamai-wide contract figures). Akamai publishes a customer DPA. Regional data controls are contract-specific, so eu_data_residency is false.
