Terra Cloud Catalyst is intended to meet the distinct needs of today’s IaaS, PaaS and hosted storage vendors.

Because Terra Cloud Catalyst is based on Akamai’s technology, cloud providers’ customers can also benefit from services such as failover, SSL delivery, streaming video, and support for custom URLs, among others.

Terra Cloud Catalyst is part of the Akamai Terra Enterprise Solutions product. Terra Cloud Catalyst is tailored to be easily implemented by cloud providers who wish to extend the core benefits of the Akamai Intelligent Platform to their customers in a manner and at a price point that maps to how cloud services are typically consumed, says a release.

“As cloud adoption continues to increase, the need for cloud providers to differentiate their current services and prepare forfuture customer demands is paramount to ongoing success,” said Willie M. Tejada, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Cloud Division, Akamai. “With the introduction of Terra Cloud Catalyst, Akamai expects to deliver on both requirements by making it easier and more cost effective for cloud providers to use the power of the Akamai Intelligent Platform to differentiate their core offerings as well as introduce new and compelling services that will help them grow a loyal, satisfied customer base.”
