According to the company, the total amount of video data delivered during the 17-day period was 600 petabytes, and the viewing time was 500 million hours.
This is more than double the amount of data and viewing time compared to the previous Rio de Janeiro Games, the largest in the past Olympics.
The peak of viewing was on August 7, when baseball and soccer men's finals were held both in the world and in Japan.
The company says that in addition to the spread of video distribution on the Internet, the number of people watching the game on the Internet has increased due to the fact that it was held without spectators due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
Harish Menon, senior director of Akamai Technologies, said, "It's been a big challenge to keep it delivered 24 hours a day, fast, stable and secure. At the Paralympics, it's the same level of urgency. I want to come in a system. "
