Cisco Intelligent WAN with Akamai Connect is a suite of integrated WAN optimization, application acceleration,
and intelligent caching features in Cisco Integrated Services Routers running Application Experience (ISR-AX)
services. Traffic management features from Cisco and intelligent HTTP caching from Akamai are fully integrated to
work together to allow you to streamline your WAN bandwidth usage and speed up user application response
times over the WAN as you add new rich apps and user connections.
Users can access bandwidth-intensive applications instantly, over any network, regardless of where the application
is hosted data center, private cloud, public cloud, or the Internet. The solution extends the well-known Akamai
Intelligent Platform with HTTP caching across the last mile into the branch office (Figure 1), turbo charging the
application optimization features of the Cisco Intelligent WAN (IWAN). Akamai Connect caching integrates with
Cisco IWAN features such as Application Visibility and Control (AVC), Cisco Performance Routing (PfR), and Cisco
Wide Area Application Services (WAAS). It is available across the ISR-AX portfolio and Cisco Wide Area
Virtualization Engine (WAVE) appliances, allowing you to deploy full-service branch-office operations.
