Reduce transit bandwidth and improve performance by becoming an Akamai Accelerated Network Partner.
How the Program Works
Akamai servers are located at the edges of the Internet and deliver all media types, including HTML, graphics, and downloadable files. With Akamai serving this rich content from servers located geographically close to end users, Akamaized Web sites load in a flash — up to 10 times faster. Network providers who want to offer this kind of performance simply agree to co-locate Akamai servers in their facilities, at no cost.
A Typical Configuration
A typical configuration is three servers, and larger configurations are available based on traffic. An Ethernet switch is used to provide inter-server communications, as well as a connection to the network. The rack-mounted servers are extremely easy to install and typically are functioning with no changes to a provider's network topology or configuration.
How You Benefit
By placing servers inside your network, Akamai enables you to:
- Deliver peak performance for maximum competitive advantage
- Reduce transit bandwidth expense
- Increase subscriber satisfaction
- Leverage customized network-monitoring tools
