Case Study: Akamai Technologies
Akamai Technologies, Inc. is an organization which delivers the content over the Internet. It is one of the largest organizations which provide the distributive Computing Platforms; it provides a cloud based services to the end user. It serves 30% of the overall web traffic. Akamai provided numbers of servers which are located all over the globe and stores the web application of the clients. It provides a faster access to those applications because of the distributive contents in to various servers around the world. Akamai does not want the long routes to it distributed the data based on the locations, it works as like a work or a task which is not possible to be completed by a single persons is divided in to multiple process or threats or assign to teams to complete their individual part, so that task can be complete faster, in the same way the contents are stored at different servers based on their access mechanism.
Akamai provides services to their customers, it delivers the content to user by just browsing through web browser and downloading the contents from the server. “ Akamai does this task simultaneously mirroring contents, sometimes all site content including HTML, CSS and all software downloads and sometime just media objects, audio, graphics, animation, video or hyper texts ”, than Customer makes up an request and domain name is same and the Internet protocol address points to the one of the Akamai server or to some different machine, after the client request the servers from Akamai picked up automatically which depends on the current location of the user or the contents required by the user.
The user can than receive the contents from any of the Server of Akamai which depend...

The internet is expanding every day to new heights never reached before. To accommodate this new growth, internet service providers are needed. One of the largest internet service providers today is American Online, otherwise known as AOL. AOL has created a friendly atmosphere where online users can easily navigate their way on the internet. There are many reasons as to why AOL is one of the leading internet service providers. By clearly gathering and evaluating these reasons, it is obvious they have made all the right choices in building a successful company.

The Akamai Corporation has meant big money for one Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and one of his students. Back in 1995, Tom Leighton, a professor of applied mathematics at MIT, started playing around with ways to use complex algorithms to ease congestion on the Web. He enlisted several researchers, including one of his graduate students, Danny Lewin. At the time, they weren't thinking about starting a company. But Mr. Lewin, following the keen instincts of a cash-strapped graduate student, suggested they enter the project in the Sloan School's annual business-plan competition. They won the software category in the preliminary round and then entered the finals, where they finished among the top six.

The internet is a total of medium¢s which are connected between them with channels of communication. The internet is actually an internet after it connects smaller networks of many countries. The internet rouses the computer and the world of the communications like nothing else before. The invention of the computer, of the telephone, of the telegraph etc, place the stage of this unprecedented completion of faculties. The internet becomes right away a world capability radio broadcast, a mechanism for the distribution of information and a means for the cooperation and the interaction between the individuals and their computers, being indifferent to the geographic place. In 1958 the American ministry of defence created a department called "Advanced Research Projects Agency" – ARPA. Its goal was to create new technologies. In 1968 they created the ARPAnet, a network of computers. For 20 years the internet was a network with precise and enormous in volume computers.
P2P technically stands for "peer-to-peer." A peer-to-peer architecture allows hardware or software to function on a network without the need for central servers. The person connects directly to his or her peer through a dedicated connection where no one else can interfere. An example of P2P chat clients are MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. These P2P clients make chatting user-friendly and interesting as there are options for a web cam or an audio conversation, and options to transfer files from one peer to another. The use of emoticons makes the conversation either more real or more fun.
