Akamai Global Traffic Management by Performance Cloud

With users expecting instant, secure, and smooth experiences across any device or location, IT organizations must ensure high availability, low latency, and optimal response times across all platforms. Akamai’s Global Traffic Management (GTM) helps ensure that users can reliably access websites and applications by intelligently routing traffic based on real-time network conditions.

Optimizing Web Performance and Availability

Akamai Global Traffic Management (GTM) optimizes user access by intelligently routing requests to the most suitable data center based on current network conditions. When a user attempts to access a website, their request is routed through the DNS resolver to Akamai's GTM servers. GTM then evaluates real-time data center performance and network conditions, determining the fastest and most reliable route for the user. This intelligent routing directs traffic to the best source, whether it’s an Akamai data center, a cloud provider, or an enterprise server, ensuring high availability and responsiveness without relying on traditional hardware-based solutions.

GTM Standard: Includes failover, IP intelligence, and weighted traffic distribution to optimize site performance.
