Maintaining an Energy-Efficient Edge Platform

Over the past 20 years, we’ve seen a lot of growth at Akamai. When I started at Akamai, we used to have traffic peaks of almost 200 Mbps.

In short, just like the internet, Akamai has undergone quite the evolution. But as we’ve grown, so have our environmental impacts. In fact, the internet as a whole is responsible for more than 2% of global emissions, having the same impact as the airline industry. Our online streaming, learning, working, shopping, and playing habits have all started to add up. Continue reading Maintaining an Energy-Efficient Edge Platform
