Akamai to expand Linode into a cloud so good you’ll want your data to leave it
, into the platform of choice for developers of distributed Kubernetes applications, and those who have come to fear cloud egress charges.
To fill those roles, Akamai will also extend the footprint of Linode’s cloud by adding 13 major data centers, and 50 smaller cloudy nodes around the world., Noam Freedman, Akamai’s senior veep and general manager of compute, admitted that pre-acquisition Linode “had limited services, they were not enterprise grade, and didn’t have scale, resilience, and compliance.”
Akamai has toughened things up in Linode’s data centers, upgrading servers to NVMe-equipped machines that use the designs Akamai uses for its own services. With that more powerful and efficient hardware in place, and infosec certifications such as ISO 27001 and HIPAA secured, and the extra Linode sites under way – with what Freedman described as “much more scale and more resilient network infrastructure” – Freedman thinks Akamai is now ready to compete for certain workloads.“Where they have a centralised app that they don’t want centralised, they want it more distributed, that’s where they find challenges with hyperscalers,” Freedman said.
Akamai started life as a content delivery network, and Freedman said that heritage and the network powering the CDN means the company’ cloud will offer data egress charges eighty or ninety percent below rivals’ charges.
