Where will your next AI workload live?

Australian teams are being asked to ship AI faster than ever. At the same time, boards are asking where the data lives and finance is asking why the cloud bill moved again. Until now, the default answer has been a hyperscaler: complex to run, hard to forecast, and priced for a scale most teams don't need.

That default just changed. Anthropic has committed US$11.6B over seven years to run on Akamai Cloud, and we're now bringing that same full stack onshore: compute, storage and GPU inference, running in Australia under Australian jurisdiction. This isn't a new data centre, it's the Akamai platform, built on 25 years of securing the internet's biggest brands, now [fully] here.

What it means for your team:

Closer: workloads run near your customers, with your data kept onshore

Predictable: challenger pricing and a bill you can forecast, without the egress tax

Secure by design: Akamai's security DNA is built into the platform, not added on top

Open: built on open source, so it plugs into your existing stack. No migration project, just a home for what you build next

Join us in Sydney as we launch the full Akamai Cloud stack in Australia. See what's now running in-country, hear how teams are deploying AI inference onshore, and meet the local team behind it. You'll leave knowing where your next workload should live, and what it should cost.
