Description

Akamai is well aware of the major content purging limitations of its platform and has been building a new system, which allows purging within a few seconds. Accordingly, Akamai’s new “Fast Purge” solution enables its customers to invalidate or delete their content from all of Akamai’s Edge servers through API and UI in “approximately 5 seconds”. However, the unknown scale and reliability of the system presents a potentially huge challenge for Akamai in a market that is milliseconds-based.
