This is an interesting mix. In my experience Linode has a good UX and is well targeted at SMEs, whereas I'm not sure anyone has bought an Akamai contract anywhere but a golf course, and it has a UX to match.
Is this Akamai trying to buy access to a market who would previously not even consider them, or is it Akamai trying to buy access to the more general cloud infrastructure market? If they're trying to do both I can't see it going down well.
