Submission + - Akamai To Acquire Linode (linode.com)

virtig01 writes: Akamai, which announced quarterly earnings today, also announced that they plan to acquire longtime Linux VPS host Linode for $900M.

Linode founder, Christopher Aker states,

“We started Linode 19 years ago to make the power of the cloud easier and more accessible. Along the way, we built a cloud computing platform trusted by developers and businesses around the world. Today, those customers face new challenges as cloud services become all-encompassing, including compute, storage, security and delivery from core to edge. Solving those challenges requires tremendous integration and scale which Akamai and Linode plan to bring together under one roof. This marks an exciting new chapter for Linode and a major step forward for our current and future customers.”
