Optimize Web site performance with EdgeSuite Global Traffic Management
Akamai EdgeSuite substantially reduces the amount of Internet infrastructure required to maintain a global Web presence. It is designed to reduce reliance on an origin site for presentation and application processing, enabling site owners to maintain a minimal "source" copy of the Web site.
Many mirrored Web sites still require traffic management for backend application servers and databases.
Businesses with a geographically distributed Web infrastructure can take advantage of EdgeSuite Global Traffic Management. When EdgeSuite needs to access the origin site, it relies on Global Traffic Management to choose the optimal site.
EdgeSuite Global Traffic Management can be configured in one of two modes: Performance Based Load Balancing or Mirror Failover.
Performance Based Load Balancing provides high availability and increased performance for Web sites by intelligently distributing requests to the origin site based on real-time data, Internet conditions, and performance measurements of a company's Web site.

Mirror Failover provides fault tolerance and high availability for Web sites by continuously monitoring the health of a primary data center and failing over to a secondary data center when needed..
Unlike hardware-based solutions, EdgeSuite Global Traffic Management frees you from the headaches associated with managing yet another disparate piece of Web hardware. |
