As companies place greater importance on the Internet, these Web sites increasingly become a key component of the business and external communications. As such, the capability and flexibility of the supporting Internet infrastructure becomes critical in order to adequately serve end users.

The infrastructure must provide good performance for all consumers, regardless of their location. It must scale to handle high traffic load during peak usage periods. It must remain available 24x7, regardless of conditions on the Internet.

When performance, reliability, or scalability problems do occur, Web site adoption and usage can be negatively impacted, resulting in greater costs, decreased revenue, and customer satisfaction issues.

Akamai’s Dynamic Site Delivery service is designed to address these challenges, helping customers to use the Internet as a reliable and effective platform for conducting e-business.

The Dynamic Site Delivery service is built on Akamai’s EdgePlatform – a massive network of thousands servers in hundreds of networks in approximately 70 countries, controlled by network intelligence systems that route requests, balance load, and improve performance and provide 100% uptime (as measured by Akamai’s performance SLA).

Akamai’s Dynamic Site Delivery service enables enterprises to extend their Web sites to the Akamai EdgePlatform, thus bringing content close to end users. The result for each Web site is superior performance, greatly increased scalability and higher availability.
