help Akamai Object Storage FAQ

What kind of data can Akamai Object Storage hold?

Akamai Object Storage is intended for unstructured data such as images, videos, backups, and application files. It stores data as objects rather than as files in a traditional desktop folder hierarchy.

Is Akamai Object Storage compatible with Amazon S3 workflows?

Akamai Object Storage is designed around S3-compatible access, so applications using S3-style tools and APIs can be adapted to it. That is useful for backups, media pipelines, and applications that already understand object storage.

How does Akamai Object Storage relate to Akamai’s content-delivery network?

Object Storage can act as a durable origin for media and other application assets, while Akamai’s delivery services handle distribution and caching. Storage and content delivery are related parts of a delivery architecture, but they are not the same service.

Why would an application use object storage instead of local server disks?

Object storage is suited to large collections of unstructured assets that need scalable access and durable storage. Akamai positions the service within its globally distributed cloud and delivery infrastructure, which can help applications serve content across regions.
