So one of our main use cases is website hosting. It can be the website primarily targeted at a specific demographic or global. That's one use case.
Another use case is providing an out-of-the-box solution for video streaming. If your business is primarily focused on live video streaming, Akamai might be the right solution for you. Other content delivery network (CDN) solutions, like Virtual Sand, do not support video streaming. That's the main reason for choosing Akamai.
Additionally, Akamai is leveraged by many Fortune 500 companies. If there's an outage or any issues, you don't need to worry about the service level agreement (SLA) because most of your competitors and top-level business companies also rely on Akamai.

Akamai is useful for web content delivery in business because it helps improve speed, reliability, and security. Caching content closer to users reduces latency and improves load times. This is especially important for businesses like Azure, as it enhances the user experience and ensures content is delivered efficiently. Additionally, Akamai's security solutions help protect against cyber threats like DDoS attacks.
