How Data Teams Integrate Akamai Linode and Files.com

Organizations across industries are turning to Akamai Linode for scalable, cost-effective, and S3-compatible platform. While Linode offers powerful storage infrastructure, enterprises often need more advanced controls, automation, and integrations for daily operations and compliance workflows—that’s where Files.com comes in. By integrating with Files.com, businesses can unlock secure file transfer protocols, enforce granular access permissions, automate data workflows, and collaborate more efficiently—bringing enterprise-level governance and flexibility to their object storage environments.

This powerful integration enables a wide variety of use cases across teams & industries such as:

• Financial Services & Fintech: A financial institution uses AI/ML to power fraud detection, credit risk analysis, and trading algorithms. Their data science team stores massive volumes of transactional logs, behavioral analytics, and third-party data feeds in Akamai Linode Object Storage. These sensitive datasets need to be ingested securely, processed efficiently, and protected to meet strict compliance standards. Adding Files.com, finance teams can now enable secure transfers of sensitive financial data via SFTP, FTPS, or AS2, launch automated workflows to normalize or validate data upon upload and collect external datasets from partners or vendors using Inboxes with no login required
• Healthcare: A healthcare organization archives patient records, lab reports, and imaging data in Linode Object Storage for long-term retention. Data access is tightly controlled and must meet HIPAA and other compliance standards. With Files.com integrated into Akamai Linode storage, you can bring enterprise-grade security and control to sensitive data and archived records. Apply GPG Encryption to enforce a zero-trust security model, ensuring only your private key can decrypt stored files. Manage user access through SAML, LDAP, or Active Directory Integrations, and automate retention policies and storage lifecycle transitions with scheduled workflows.
• Media & Entertainment: A video production house uses Akamai Linode Object Storage to hold large raw video files, project archives, and final deliverables. Teams across time zones need access to edit, upload, and distribute content securely and quickly. With Files.com, teams can use Share Links to deliver final assets to clients with custom expiration dates and access limits. Utilize project archiving and transfer to cold storage using scheduled workflows and receive real-time Slack alerts when key files are uploaded or downloaded
