Story
Norwegian Cruise Line grew campus and branch networking faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Network engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Akamai CDN put network operations on Akamai. Akamai operates a large edge platform for content delivery, application security, and microsegmentation. Norwegian Cruise Line keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so network engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier network operations. Campus and branch networking is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join network engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
