Distributed Cloud Computing: A New Approach
summary
Akamai announces the Connected Cloud built on the 25‑year global network, integrating the Linode and Ondat acquisitions to add general‑purpose VMs, serverless and storage functions across 4,200 PoPs. The platform targets low‑latency workloads (media, gaming, AR/VR, fintech) with peer‑style PoP cooperation, always‑on load balancing and multi‑cloud portability. Roadmap adds six core regions and about a half dozen distributed sites this year; one early customer (Zolvit) already runs production services.
