Service Overview
Although it has been years since cloud application services became available, only in the last two year did enterprises begin to introduce such IT platforms actively. Akamai, which has observed the global development of cloud application services, believes that there are 3 reasons why businesses adopt such services now. First, cloud application services have matured and can satisfy the needs of business operations better with a comprehensive list of services. Second, the model of charging by actual usage can drive businesses’ IT cost down and reduce IT workload. Finally, cloud application services reduce time to market greatly by skipping traditional IT purchasing processes and allowing businesses to create new services on cloud right away.
Security attacks and DDoS attacks are more frequent, and their scale is larger today. Akamai’s global infrastructure can detect potential threats and stop these messages at the early stage of large-scale DDoS attacks. Akamai’s Prolexic Routed route your traffic through Akamai’s distributed scrubbing centers in Hong Kong, Japan and Australia.
