Akamai Solutions for Cloud Computing: Accelerate, Scale and Fortify Applications and Platforms Running in the Cloud

Cloud-based offerings will need to overcome these challenges in order to meet enterprise computing requirements such as speed, scalability, availability, and security. These requirements must be met before companies can justify migrating their business-critical applications to the Cloud.
