Storage & cloud integration · Akamai
Cortex runs on Akamai Cloud and spreads every object across Akamai regions with Shard and Spread™, adding the cross-region resilience and ransom immunity Akamai object storage does not provide natively.
How the integration works
Applications write over standard S3 to Cortex running on Akamai compute. At write time each object is encrypted, erasure-coded two-of-four across four Akamai regions (US-East, US-West, EU, AP), and its keys are split with Shamir Secret Sharing. No single Akamai region holds reconstructable data, and losing up to two regions still serves reads and writes.
What it delivers
Akamai object buckets are single-region. Myota spreads across regions, so a region loss is a non-event.
→Object Lock prevents deletion; Myota prevents comprehension. Credentials can’t reconstruct data below quorum.
→Standard S3 in and out. Cross-region distribution replaces replication jobs and their egress.
→Protects the stored embeddings, vectors, and RAG corpora, complementing Akamai’s query-path defenses.
→Managed-service envelope
| Measure | Target |
|---|---|
| Recovery point (RPO) | Zero, to the point of last acknowledged write |
| Recovery time (RTO) | Sub-minute gateway-instance reroute |
| Availability SLA | 99.99% |
| Durability | Eleven nines infrastructure durability (modeled), plus cyber durability |
