Akamai is a company that provides caching of content for its clients. You
pay them to cache your site, and then they distribute machines
to ISPs that serve up content locally to isp customers. This requires less
bandwidth to be spent on the actual machine. In exchange isp's get to use
the server to cache their own content (from my understanding) and save
bandwidth in exchange for electricity. I believe they run a modified
redhat/apache system.
