A U.S.-based technology company committed more than $600 million over four years for Akamai cloud infrastructure services supporting robotics development. Total multiyear cloud infrastructure commitments signed in 2026 exceeded $2.8 billion, with the new contract expected to ramp fully throughout 2027. Management said strong demand and pipeline visibility support overall revenue growth accelerating to the low teens in 2027, while GPU capacity is currently completely sold out. Customers are increasingly preordering GPU capacity and locking it in for longer periods because inventory is limited.
