You can’t plan the weather, but if you’re WeatherBug — who operates the world’s largest proprietary weather network — you’d better have a plan for delivering up-to-the-minute weather reports and forecasts to a growing audience of B2B and B2C users. With more than 8000 professional weather tracking stations and 1000 cameras placed throughout the U.S., ensuring reliable collection and distribution of weather data is clearly mission critical.

WeatherBug trusts Akamai to provide guaranteed high performance for WeatherBug’s Web site, as well their applications and mobile products — up to 3X more traffic than before. During Hurricane Katrina, WeatherBug’s site was available without fail — with the largest number of unique visitors of any weather Web site — during and after the historic storm. Thanks to Akamai, WeatherBug is positioned to expand its coverage internationally, confident in its ability to get real-time weather data to the users who need it most.
