If you use the Internet for anything – eCommerce, enterprise cloud computing, software downloads, Web marketing or HD video - you've probably used Akamai's services without even knowing it. We play a critical role in making the Internet work for business.
The Internet was never designed to do all that we ask of it today. A network of thousands of networks with no common standards or oversight, the Internet is complicated, expensive and labor intensive for companies to work with.
Akamai's mission is to expand and evolve the connected world.
Akamai’s Intelligent Internet PlatformTM addresses these challenges and makes it easier for companies to be successful online by ensuring performance, instant scalability, robust security and useful data. Made up of nearly one hundred thousand servers, deployed in 72 countries and spanning most of the networks within the Internet, these servers are all controlled by Akamai software that is constantly monitoring Internet conditions. The platform makes millions of real-time adjustments in response to congestion, security threats and network failures to ensure there is no impact to our customers.
Today Akamai handles tens of billions of daily Web interactions for companies like Audi, NBC, and Fujitsu, and organizations like the U.S. Department of Defense and NASDAQ — powering brand new business models that serve the changing online economy.
