At Authorize.Net, the reliability of our platform is our first priority. Your business depends on our services, and we understand how important that is. To that end, we are implementing a new networking solution that will provide you with a superior level of processing reliability. Please read this email thoroughly. Akamai Network TechnologyOver the coming months, Authorize.Net will be upgrading access to the Internet connections that serve our data centers. Instead of allowing direct connections, all Internet traffic will be routed through Akamai, a third-party cloud network service that routes and delivers Internet traffic. Using Akamai network technology will help decrease latency and improve the reliability of our payment gateway. It will also help safeguard against interruptions caused by issues beyond Authorize.Net's direct control, such as Internet congestion, fiber cable cuts and other similar issues. Additionally, come October, merchants connected to Akamai should no longer be affected by planned downtimes. Implementation Plan And TimelineWe are implementing Akamai's technology into our network in two phases.
- [*=left]Phase One (Now through June 2016) — We have created three new URLs for transaction processing that are hosted by Akamai. You can update your website or payment solution to point to the new transaction URLs today, which will provide you with the immediate benefits detailed above. Come October, you should no longer be affected by planned downtimes. [*=left]Phase Two (June 2016) — We will automatically direct all of our existing transaction processing URLs to connect through Akamai in June of 2016. After this change, all transaction URLs will connect to Authorize.Net through Akamai.
