TOKYO -- Akamai Japan K.K., a subsidiary of Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leading global service provider for accelerating content and applications online, announced today that its Internet acceleration technology, including its Application Performance Solutions (APS) for enterprise applications, will be adopted by Fujitsu Limited for its FENICS II next-generation solutions.
