Akamai required a high-performance, scalable database to store the vast amounts of data associated with distributing and accelerating content and applications across its cloud-based Intelligent Platform. SingleStore emerged as the obvious choice -- the only memory-optimized, distributed architecture capable of powering this real-time workload.
“Adding SingleStore as a core technology in our IT infrastructure allows us to ingest granular data more rapidly with higher scalability and efficiency,” said Mike DePrizio, Senior Architect, Akamai Technologies. “Processing data in SingleStore has helped us achieve significant reductions in cycle time of our critical processes, driving better services for our customers.”
Since its inception in 1998, Akamai has implemented numerous systems of record to store content from disparate sources. In today’s fast-moving, data-driven world, Akamai analysts need quick retrieval of data across these systems in order to make faster business decisions. Akamai selected and deployed SingleStore, with its robust SQL coverage and speed, to solve this problem. By syncing core systems to SingleStore and building APIs on top of the engine, Akamai enabled broad-scale access to thousands of records. For example, analysts can call contract data, customer information, and usage records, which can be analyzed for a window into business operations.
