The Akamai Difference for Social Networking
Akamai delivers a platform for expansion, innovation and exploration, enabling the world's leading social media companies to succeed. Because of the unique nature of the content they make available, social networking sites face a number of challenges that standard content delivery networks (CDNs) may not address. Many CDNs, including those with limited geographic distribution, serve web pages directly from a customer's origin server, and serve objects from the same centralized server network, reducing performance and reliability improvement opportunities.
In contrast, Akamai's unique EdgePlatform network outperforms the competition by providing on-demand scalability, mission critical reliability, and a superior customer experience by configuring to handle all types of content intelligently - whether infrequently viewed, popular, or even dynamic.
