Akamai (Kyung-joon Lee, CEO of Akamai Korea), a cloud company that strongly supports and protects online life, has introduced a fundamentally different cloud approach that integrates core distributed computing sites into large-scale, extended edge networks.

Akamai launched Akamai Connected Cloud on the 14th.

This is a large-scale distributed edge and cloud platform for computing, security, and content delivery, and is scheduled to be available in the Asia-Pacific region as well.

Akamai plans to build four new enterprise-grade core cloud computing sites across the Asia-Pacific region in Chennai, Osaka, Jakarta, and Auckland by 2023.

In addition to building new core sites, we plan to build distributed sites in about 50 cities around the world this year to provide basic cloud computing capabilities to regions that are difficult to access and are not served by existing cloud providers.

By introducing a new pricing policy and applying an economic concept similar to CDNs to cloud data transmission, cloud egress costs are reduced.

In addition, with new, immediately available ISO, SOC 2, and HIPAA standard compliance, customers can move workloads between Akamai and other public clouds.

In addition, the services provided by Akamai's technology partners through the Akamai Qualified Computing Partner Program are available worldwideSeamless deployment and scalability are possible across systematically distributed platforms.

Tom Leighton, co-founder and CEO of Akamai, said, “Akamai is taking a fundamentally different approach to cloud computing. It is based on our experience of scaling the internet and maintaining security for the world’s largest enterprises for the past 25 years,” adding, “Akamai is building the cloud that will be needed for the next 10 years.”
