Leading Content Delivery Network (CDN) company, Akamai Technologies announced recently that it has acquired New York City-based Concord Systems, a startup that provides technology for the high performance processing of data at scale.
The acquisition is expected to complement Akamai’s existing platform data processing capabilities and augment the Company’s product roadmap for supporting customers leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
