Akamai Cloud Computing

Organisations have now been building in the cloud for years. They have migrated existing workloads and most organisations have started to modernise applications to take advantage of the flexibility that cloud can offer and to deliver best of breed services and differentiation that each cloud offers. These cloud-smart organisations are incorporating distributed and edge cloud capabilities that multiply redundancy, improve end user performance, and reduce costs.

However, clouds have failed to deliver on lower costs and applications remain siloed in a single cloud. What’s the next step? Are there opportunities to create future forward applications that will save costs and provide better user experiences?

Discover how Akamai Connected Cloud brings together the world’s most distributed platform for cloud computing, security, and content delivery.

IT teams responsible for mission-critical applications are often charged with the challenge of ensuring traffic spikes do not impact their service.

This has been a challenging act as load testing with application environment is often inaccurate, and overprovisioning infrastructure without understanding capacity and performance can result in unnecessary costs. However, these issues can be overcome with better load testing set-up. Combined with cost-effective compute and egress, it is possible to perform extensive testing without increasing costs.

Learn how to use Akamai CloudTest to validate performance at scale from hundreds to millions of virtual users, in both test and production environments. We'll also share how to deploy popular open-source load testing tools like JMeter and Locust on Akamai Cloud Computing services. You’ll learn how your key business functionality behaves under heavy loads and if your infrastructure scales well under stress.

Join this session and discover:
- How to optimize your application performance
- How to reduce overprovisioning costs
- Best practices for load testing in both test and production environments
- How to achieve distributed testing while keeping cost low

Media streaming workflows are increasingly complex and audience demands are increasing.

To keep up, streaming operators need to deliver ultra-low latency streaming reliably while keeping the cost under control. This requires seamless integration between the media data plane pipeline and the delivery network. However, with unpredictable viewership patterns, planning for capacity and estimating cost can be challenging.

Join this session to learn how to handle anything your viewership demands, reduce comparable egress costs and gain transparency into (predictable) pricing with Akamai Connected Cloud. Discover how our award-winning developer support, backed by the enterprise-scale consulting and service reliability can empower you to build innovative, viewer-centric workloads on the world’s most distributed cloud.

You’ll learn about:
- Akamai Cloud Computing services for media encoding and packaging
- Options for cost-effective egress and distribution
- How to attain ultra-low latency, improve reliability, speed to market and performance on a global reach and scale
