Akamai Unveils Open Platform Initiative

Akamai Technologies, a provider of cloud services for delivering, optimizing and securing online content and business applications, has introduced the Akamai Open Platform Initiative during the company’s sixth annual Edge customer conference.
 
Fostering a sense of community and helping bolster an ecosystem of like-minded companies focused on driving business innovation through Internet technologies are foundational elements of the Open Platform Initiative. For example, by making it easier to combine its own solutions with services from organizations such as next-generation machine data analytics expert Sumo Logic, Akamai is empowering customers to use data and insight in entirely new ways and giving them new opportunities to create business value.


“Akamai’s Open Platform Initiative presents a major opportunity for businesses to exploit the advantages of cloud computing,” said Vance Loiselle, CEO of Sumo Logic. “Our machine data analytics platform can now marry rich Akamai logs with enterprise application context to provide real-time insights about customer experience, site performance and security posture.”

Building upon Akamai’s global reach and Internet visibility, the Open Platform Initiative strategy is designed to provide powerful knowledge and context for partners, customers and developers looking to optimize cloud environments.
