Akamai: Revolutionizing Internet Content Delivery
Origins and Innovation
Akamai, a leading global provider of cloud security and content delivery services, traces its roots back to the hallways of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the late 1990s. Recognizing the growing congestion on the internet, a team of researchers led by Jonathan Zittrain and Danny Lewin set out to find a solution.
Solving Internet Congestion
Akamai's groundbreaking innovation lay in its distributed content delivery network (CDN). By caching content on servers located close to users around the world, Akamai significantly reduced the time it took for web pages, videos, and applications to load. This not only improved user experience but also eased the strain on internet infrastructure.
