Enable On-Demand Web Applications that Grow Your Business

Enterprises can grow revenue and market share, compete more effectively, and reduce business costs by enabling Web applications that improve promotion and sales, customer service, and vendor and partner management. However, most enterprise IT infrastructures are not equipped to handle these Web applications, which can include store/dealer locators, promotional contests, search functionality, user registration, product/pricing configurators, and other key tools

How it Works

Your applications are deployed on the global Akamai platform ($(server_count) servers in $(countries) countries) where they are cached and processed locally. We execute the presentation layer and application business logic on Akamai servers at the "edges of the Internet" - from locations close to users requesting the application. We then identify and use the optimal route to deliver the application. By minimizing communication between servers close to users and your data center, and offloading components to Akamai, you improve overall performance and reduce the demands on your infrastructure.
Akamai EdgeComputing enables enterprises to deliver J2EE Web based applications that scale on demand and perform faster and more reliably worldwide - while reducing the demands on their own IT infrastructures and simplifying support.
