>"The primary objective is to take Linode and really scale that up and sell it into the large enterprise space," and "…The focus will be moving Linode’s capabilities into our platform and having a comprehensive solution for large enterprise customers."
This is good. Cloud Hosting is capital intensive. I would imagine Akamai have access to much cheaper capital. And I would not be surprised if Linode's growth is fairly limited by capital. From new Datacenter, new networking equipment, new storage, to new sever. As long as Caker is still in charge. And Akamai provides additional engineering resources. I am actually quite optimistic about this going forward.
