Akamai engineering has adopted new technology concepts to enhance and expand routing capabilities at the edge. Previously, Akamai?s traffic-steering capabilities were mainly focused on DNS-based routing. In this article, we would like to give you an in-depth look at how Akamai has embraced new routing technology concepts and merged them into the Akamai edge to enhance routing capabilities, provide faster and better traffic steering, and offer even better performance.
With the transition to remote work, we often hear the term remote access used in unison. Typically, remote work application access is facilitated via a remote access mechanism and, presumably, local work application access is facilitated via a local access mechanism. But I argue that this connection does not really hold true. Sure, remote work does require the use of a remote access mechanism, but the mechanism can and should also be used for local work. There's really no such thing as local access.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard the phrase ?digital transformation,? I would have a lot of dollars. I?m sure you would too. We?d have even more if we counted the term ?Zero Trust.? (Maybe we should start counting them, now that I think about it!)
