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. |  |
