Thanks Travis.
I was hoping that Akamai would make somethings go faster being at my pop
rather than across the net.
Glad Windows updates are there. Any idea what else is there that is a
possible bandwidth saver or performance enhancer.
We used to have Akamai Servers and a caching server back in the T-1 Dial
up days, but when we went to managed modems and fiber for our
connectivity, we cancelled the Akamai servers and shut down the cache.
Now with video's being so popular, I'm looking at Akamai again. I just
don't know what content is stored on their servers. Would be nice if
cnn, fox, nbc, abc, etc were all working with Akamai.
Wuld also be nice if there was other companies like Akamai to check out.

We've had it for almost 5 years now, and they actually approached us...
so it was a simple form and they shipped us all the equipment (which
does take about 4u of rack space and power... it's 3 servers and a switch).
I also know that our servers handle requests for people that are "close"
to us, so they may only set up so many people in an area, I'm not sure.

We love Akamai... especially during big Windows Update periods. :)
We serve 12 school districts and they all seem to do their updates on
PC's and servers during the same times (during school breaks) and the
Akamai servers save us a ton of bandwidth and the customers get GREAT
speeds doing the updates.
What did you have to go through to get a set for your network?
