Akamai Technologies Revenue, Valuation & Funding (2024)

Akamai operates a content delivery network, or CDN, which entails locating servers at the edges of networks so its customers, which store content on Akamai servers, can reach their own customers faster, more securely, and with better quality. Akamai has over 200,000 servers distributed over thousands of points of presence within over 1,700 networks across 130 countries. Its customers generally include media companies, which stream video content or make video games available for download, and other enterprises that run interactive or high-traffic websites, such as e-commerce firms and financial institutions. Akamai also has a significant security business, which is integrated with its core web and media businesses to protect its customers from cyber threats. The company seeks to make those acquisitions that will enable it to bolster its strategy of deploying its software into devices, carrier networks, enterprises and homes.
