"Akamai’s scale, reliability, and service set them apart from the competition. In fact, we’ve had 100% uptime since we switched to Akamai some years ago; and that number in the IT world is unheard of."
“Now we can serve multiple geographies from a single data centre, and deliver better performance than ever before. And we’re doing all this more easily and at lower cost than before.”
“Managing infrastructure on another continent proved quite challenging for our IT operations team, and it distracted them from focusing on the customer experience. Moreover, no data center providers could satisfy our expectations for performance and availability.”
"With Akamai, we can scale on demand."
"We have seen performance improvements from 8 to 10 seconds to less than a couple of seconds with Akamai technology."
"Traditionally we would deploy our own solutions but it just made more sense for us to choose Akamai."
"The quality of the viewership experience is EPIX's number one goal."
"We had about four months to prepare the site for the MSN launch in July 2004. There’s no way we could have done it without Akamai – it would have required an unheard of amount of hardware to support the extra traffic. Yet our hardware costs only increased 25% in support of the launch."
"The Akamai Web Application Accelerator solution has blown away all expectations."
"With Akamai EdgeComputing powered by WebSphere®, we were able to reduce the load on our enterprise servers by up to 99%."
"The combination of iStreamPlanet and the Akamai HD Network allows content rights holders and global broadcasters to deliver an online experience comparable to the television broadcast."
"Fans are looking for video, RSS feeds, and Widgets. As demand for these assets increases, we need a network partner like Akamai to distribute them in an efficient way."
"We assessed various content deliver networks but Akamai's reputation and the size of its global network were head-and-shoulders above everyone else."
"Akamai was the most effective, most consistent CDN providing the best results for our customers. Given those consistent results we entered into a very strategic relationship about two years ago and haven't looked back."
"With the HD Network we were able to broadcast at a much high quality, we were able to offer DVR type support and we were able to hit that global audience in a way we were no way near able to support before."
