SUCCESS IN EDUCATION

“Working with computational infrastructure and support became important to us because we had to have rapid access to data and all the things you need to be able to manage a project like this on such a rapid timeline. That’s why it has been really valuable to have Linode [now Akamai] helping us with that.”
