In this episode of TFiR: Newsroom, Swapnil Bhartiya sits down with Rick Myers, Senior Director of Customer Support at Akamai, to talk about accolades the Linode Customer Support team received at this year’s Stevie Awards.

Swapnil sits down with Pavel Despot, Sr. Product Marketing Manager at Akamai, to share his insights on where the market is headed.

Akamai Technologies is a world-leading provider of content delivery, security, and edge compute solutions. In this episode of 2023 Predictions, Senior Product Marketing Manager Pavel Despot shares his thoughts on what will happen in the industry this new year.

In this episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, I sat down with Pavel Despot, Senior Product Marketing Manager Cloud at Akamai Technologies, to hear his take on the recently concluded AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas.

Many organizations have trouble getting started with Kubernetes because they perceive it to be too complex, too expensive, and simply overwhelming. There are many providers and platforms available, but choosing the right one is also a struggle. Linode aims to lower the barrier to entry with its fully managed container orchestration engine.

The cloud is dotted with all kinds of providers, from the Big 3 and hyperscalers down to alternative cloud and pure-play providers. Which ones will flourish and which ones will get knocked out of business depends on who can offer what customers want: simple deployment, easy management, secure, good price performance, and greater developer control.

Linode democratized computing and championed cloud computing even before AWS was formed. Now part of Akamai, Linode enables individual developers and businesses to put their applications on the cloud and not worry about managing a datacenter or infrastructure.

Billy Thompson is one of the most recognizable faces that you will come across at tech conferences everywhere. As a Solutions Engineering Manager at Akamai (Linode), he is well versed and always up-to-date with the latest in the cloud computing space. In a recent trip to the Linode headquarters in Philadelphia, I sat down with Thompson to geek out about the current trends and some of the major pain points that users are facing today.

There is a vision and a reason why Linode is well-known for providing quality customer experience. In this episode of TFiR: Let’s Talk recorded at the Linode headquarters in Philadelphia, Swapnil Bhartiya sits down with Rick Myers, Senior Director of Customer Support at Akamai, to discuss the company’s unique approach to customer support, including the way they recruit team members.

Akamai has always been focused on helping developers deploy, secure, and deliver their services on the cloud in a way that is simple and accessible.
