Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Akamai Connected Cloud Linode helps companies move from on-premises servers and IT infrastructure to an infrastructure running in the cloud and you won't have to hire as much as IT personnel to take care of your infrastructure, as Akamai Connected Cloud Linode will be taking care of the physical security & more. And also, it's easy to scale with just a click and a cloud infrastructure is always more affordable from all aspects, from the pricing to how many personnel you'll need to hire.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used the cloud platform to create virtual private servers, on which we installed Linux Debian OS and WordPress. We also created other VPSs to test and experiment with different software. We wanted complete control of the server at an affordable price. Akamai (Linode) provided fast computing and zero downtime. We especially wanted the cloud platform to be easy to understand and to allow us to install software quickly.
