Akamai recently announced significant enhancements to its platform. These updates can drive insight, agility, and quality for businesses delivering digital experiences using the Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform to secure and enable cloud-based applications and web-based experiences. These new capabilities are designed to:
- Improve resiliency for apps with automated protections, streamlined workflows, and support for additional apps and use cases;
- Enable unparalleled visibility and insight to facilitate prioritization, streamline decision making, and ensure better business outcomes;
- Drive significant cost reduction associated with egress from public clouds, and enhance performance, security and quality for streaming TV experiences;
- Provide powerful APIs and automation to empower developers and simplify complex tasks, and empower developers to maintain agile development practices.
“As more companies move their operations and apps to the cloud, they are striving to balance the demands for security and agility, often firefighting point problems instead of directing their digital strategy. They need greater insight, agility and quality from their service provider partners to get there in a cost effective way. Akamai is innovating to help organizations meet continuously evolving challenges, threats, and competitive pressures.” said Ari Weil, vice president of product marketing at Akamai.
