LAS VEGAS, Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai Edge 2017 --
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the world's largest and
most trusted cloud delivery platform, today announced significant
product innovations to enable customers adopting DevOps release
cycles. Unveiled at the Akamai Edge 2017 global customer
conference this week in Las Vegas,
the enhancements to the suite of Web Performance Solutions
underscore Akamai's commitment to enabling their customers to work
the way they want to work, while delivering the best web and mobile
application user experiences.
"Every digital business is focused on agility and looking for
ways to deploy and evolve their applications faster to ensure the
best user experience possible," said Craig
Adams, Vice President Product Management, Web Performance
Business Unit, Akamai Technologies. "We believe that the
enhancements to our suite of Web Performance solutions put us in
lockstep with the needs of our customers, providing exceptional web
experiences that are designed to drive loyalty and engagement,
which have been shown to increase sales and revenue."
Akamai's DevOps alignment focuses on three key areas: enabling
customers to deploy Akamai as code, providing real-time visibility
into applications running on Akamai, and helping developers modify
applications easily in production. To enable developers to
take full advantage of Akamai's solutions, the company provides a
complete set of APIs to manage integrations with industry leading
toolchain components like Terraform, Varnish, and Wordpress to
simplify scripting and automation. Akamai provides real-time
visibility into CDN behavior and a global testing suite that helps
customers to test and fix applications in real-time. The
company also offers accelerated platform operations that provide
customers with the ability to deploy custom configurations and code
across Akamai's vast network in minutes, purge any content in
seconds, and quickly revert to past configurations to facilitate
rapid iterations.
"At the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), we deliver the
news, commentary and culture that Canadians need today, tomorrow
and in the future – without any latency," said Massimo Mollica, Web Operations Manager, CBC.
"Akamai's new DevOps features - such as Fast Purge and Fast
Activation - let us update and deliver new content to our audiences
in minutes."
Recognizing the critical link between digital performance and
revenue for customers, Akamai also released mPulse Lite, a free
version of its leading product for digital performance management
(available for download in the company's Marketplace). mPulse
Lite identifies opportunities to improve user engagement by
improving performance and prioritizes the most impactful
optimizations to move business objectives forward. In addition to
the free version of the product, Akamai also introduced an IoS
mobile application and companion IoS watch app so product owners
can remain on top of application performance on the go, and both
mobile apps are available for free download from the Apple App
Store.
