Akamai Reviews

Akamai's journey began with a challenge posed by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, at MIT in 1995. He foresaw the congestion issues that would plague Internet users and challenged colleagues to devise a better way to deliver Internet content. This challenge ultimately led to the creation of Akamai, a commercial service that has revolutionized the Internet. MIT Professor Tom Leighton, intrigued by the challenge, assembled a team of researchers to tackle the problem. Together, they developed mathematical algorithms to intelligently route and replicate content over a distributed network of servers, solving the issue of web congestion. The Akamai Connected Cloud, their massively distributed edge and cloud platform, empowers businesses to develop and run applications and workloads while bringing experiences closer to users and keeping threats at bay. This platform is trusted by innovative companies worldwide to build, deliver, and secure their digital experiences.
