Akamai CDN uses more than 200,000 geographically distributed servers in more than 120 countries to deliver content to users.
Akamai is the market leader in CDN services. The company was founded in 1998 by a student at Masachusetsky University of Technology Daniel Levin and a professor of mathematics at the same university Thomson Leighton. Levin died on board an American Airlines plane during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. Among the company's customers are Adobe, Apple, AMD, Amazon.com, BBC, Blizzard, CNET, European Space Agency, Facebook, IBM, GitHub, Microsoft, NASA, NVIDIA and many others.
