Akamai收购Linode 巩固云服务器CDN和安全解决方案

2022年春节之后，收到Linode云服务器的邮件，关于Akamai收购Linode的信息说明。

Akamai 商家主要是提供云服务器安全解决方案的，比如CDN等。在Linode收购之后，将会继续保持Akamai的产品优势且会和Linode的云服务器等相关的云产品融合提供更多的适合云产品和服务的解决方案，这样可以用来弥补Linode商家在安全方面的产品广度。具体的部署和产品融合将会在第一季度完成，我们一起期待吧。这里老左一并将这封邮件分享出来。

邮件原文：

I am excited to announce that Linode has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Akamai. You can read the official press release in our press room.

First things first: For the immediate future, we will continue to operate as we always have. Akamai has no intention of changing what has made us successful. This acquisition will propel us both forward — not take anything away. Linode will soon be able to call on the power of Akamai to offer entirely new products, services, expertise, locations, and scale, while Akamai will be able to tap into Linode’s deep expertise in compute, storage, and on-demand infrastructure-as-a-service.

If you don’t already know Akamai, they’ve been around since the early days of the web. They invented the CDN and operate the world’s most sophisticated content delivery platform. Over the years, they’ve added world class security and edge solutions to their portfolio, among other things.

There is natural synergy between Akamai and Linode, not only in our missions and cultures, but in the potent combination of strengths we each bring to the table. Combining Linode’s compute and storage products with Akamai’s serverless, CDN, and security solutions, will give customers a broader range of services to build, modernize, and scale the next generation of applications.

Today, we start a new chapter in Linode’s story – one that strengthens our position in a market increasingly looking for alternatives. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022. In the meantime, we want to thank you — our customers — for supporting and empowering us to make cloud computing simple, affordable, and accessible.

翻译如下：

我很高兴地宣布，Linode已与Akamai达成收购协议。您可以在我们的新闻发布室阅读官方新闻稿。

首先，在不久的将来，我们将一如既往地继续运营。Akamai无意改变让我们成功的东西。这次收购将推动我们双方向前发展，而不是带走任何东西。Linode将很快能够调用Akamai的力量，提供全新的产品、服务、专业知识、位置和规模，而Akamai将能够利用Linode在计算、存储和按需基础设施即服务方面的深厚专业知识。

如果你还不知道Akamai，那么我告诉你，他们在早期的网络时代就已经存在了。他们发明了CDN，并运营着世界上最复杂的内容交付平台。多年来，他们已经为他们的投资组合添加了世界级的安全和边缘解决方案。

Akamai和Linode之间有着天然的协同作用，这不仅体现在我们的使命和文化上，而且体现在我们各自带来的强大力量的结合上。将Linode的计算和存储产品与Akamai的无服务器、CDN和安全解决方案相结合，将为客户提供更广泛的服务，以构建、现代化和扩展下一代应用程序。

今天，我们开始了Linode故事的新篇章——在一个日益寻找替代产品的市场中巩固我们的地位。该交易预计将于2022年第一季度完成。
