OPTIMAL CONTENT DELIVERY AND
APPLICATION PERFORMANCE
Business application traffic over the public Internet is expected to double in the
first half of the decade. Unfortunately, the Internet does not offer the
availability, safety, and control that enterprises demand for delivering rich
media to global audiences. Moreover, many centrally-located applications
don’t always perform consistently. Slow or unreliable web applications lead to
frustrated users or avoidance of engagement altogether. Oracle Learn Cloud
has partnered with Akamai to provide customers with a solution to effectively
deliver web-based content to locations around the world with minimal delays.
Akamai enables maximum performance, scale, control, and visibility of
Learning management, and ensures end-users with an optimal learning
experience.
