Hydrolix was selected by Akamai as North America Qualified Computing Partner (QCP) of the Year.
These awards recognize the outstanding contributions and dedication of Akamai's North American partners who continue to lead with innovation, excellence and impact.
Akamai uses Hydrolix's streaming data lake software as the engine for its managed observability service, TrafficPeak. Launched in the fall of 2023, TrafficPeak took off quickly with 33 customers signing on, and by the end of 2024 that number rose to more than 370, driving a 11x customer growth in the offering's first year of availability. TrafficPeak gives Akamai customers valuable insights and analysis into their log data files, improving threat detection, performance and service levels while keeping data storage costs under control.
"Hydrolix embodies everything we hope for from a partner in our QCP program, working with the Akamai teams and our customers as a trusted collaborator, helping to unlock TrafficPeak's full value," said Dan Lawrence, Akamai Technologies vice president of global enterprise sales, cloud. "The rapid customer and revenue growth achieved with this partnership is due to the fact that TrafficPeak is solving real customer challenges surrounding data visibility and observability costs."
The Akamai QCP Program consists of technology partners chosen to extend the customer benefits of using Akamai Connected Cloud and spans a wide range of technology applications/solutions. The Akamai QCP of the Year is chosen based on defined metrics like year-over-year growth and number of customers, as well as more nuanced factors that are indicative of high-performing partnerships like robust use cases, win reports, inter-team collaboration and customer feedback.
"Early on, our partnership with Akamai fostered a deep cooperation between their teams and ours, always with the customer's best interests being at the center of the relationship," said Marty Kagan, co-founder and CEO at Hydrolix. "To be named the North American QCP of the Year recipient from one of the world's leading technology companies with customer-first values is a tremendous honor."
