This Juniper Networks customer story details how Akamai revolutionized its global network infrastructure using Juniper 400G routing and integrated coherent optics. Facing the challenge of scaling its massively distributed Akamai Connected Cloud platform for cloud computing, security, and content delivery, Akamai deployed Juniper PTX Series routers with JCO400 coherent optical transceivers. The solution enabled Akamai to achieve a 4X increase in metro capacity and realize 80% cost savings by migrating its network edge to 400G. Additionally, it eliminated the DWDM layer for simplified operations, significantly reduced power consumption, and supported over 900+ Tbps across 4,200 locations in 130+ countries. This case study highlights the benefits of converged packet-optical solutions for high
