Akamai Web Application Accelerator speeds performance of dynamic, interactive Web applications without requiring additional infrastructure by taking a fundamentally different approach to application delivery, employing techniques including:

  • Dynamic mapping
  • Dynamic routing
  • Compression
  • Caching and pre-fetching
  • Connection/TCP optimization
  • Access control

How it Works

Requests and application responses between users and your origin server are sent over the Akamai platform. It's the world's largest fault-tolerant network, comprising of $(server_count) servers in $(countries) countries. When a user requests an application, dynamic mapping technology directs the request to the closest Akamai server. Using route optimization, we identify the fastest, most reliable path back to your server to retrieve the application content, and employ connection techniques to optimize communication between servers, improving performance and reliability of both retrieval and delivery. Access control features ensure application security is maintained throughout the process.
