Leader in Content Delivery Networking (CDN) and
Cloud Storage selected to ensure high reliability and low latency
for global audio streaming leader
Limelight Networks, Inc., (“Limelight”) (Nasdaq:LLNW) a global
leader in digital content delivery, announced today that StreamOn
has deployed the Limelight OrchestrateTM (“Orchestrate”) Content
Delivery and Cloud Storage platform.
StreamOn, an Edmonton, Canada based company, provides radio
broadcasters with the tools and technology to grow their online
audiences through social media. The audio live streaming company
will use the Orchestrate platform to enable their customers to
reliably stream audio broadcasts with low latency on StreamOn’s
servers.
“StreamOn serves a demanding set of radio broadcasters around
the world. Even the slightest decrease in performance or
availability might affect its reputation and brand,” said Kirby
Wadsworth, chief marketing officer at Limelight.
The StreamOn appliance requires dependable connectivity to 300+
customer radio stations throughout Canada, the United States, and
other parts of the world. StreamOn’s Listen Later service allows
radio stations to serve both live and on-demand audiences,
resulting in potential additional revenue, and new requirements for
flawless content delivery.
“Our online streaming must be ‘FM-quality’ – anything less is
unacceptable. It is also not acceptable for our radio broadcast
customers to go offline, so we needed to be assured that the
solution we chose was highly reliable,” said Andrew Snook, chief
technology officer at StreamOn.
StreamOn selected the Limelight Orchestrate platform to ensure
reduced downtime, significantly lower latency, and the highest
quality delivery, through the world’s fastest and most reliable
content delivery platform. With Limelight, StreamOn can now deliver
broadcast quality audio content to any device, anywhere on the
planet. StreamOn joins a growing list of audio streaming and
broadcast industry leaders across the globe that have each chosen
the Orchestrate platform to ensure reliability, consistency, and
the highest quality content delivery.
“Limelight exceeded all of our criteria and we are very pleased
with the result,” continued Snook. “We’ve substantially increased
our uptime by using Limelight, and by using their Cloud Storage
service we are seeing our content available 30 seconds quicker than
with our previous vendor. In the radio business, this is
significant.”
“We are excited to be working with StreamOn, one of Canada’s
leading streaming companies, to help them better engage their
global online audiences. Reliability and performance are hallmarks
of Limelight’s broadcast-quality platform and services, and we look
forward to a long and successful relationship,” continued
Wadsworth.
Earlier this month, Limelight announced that it will showcase
its solutions portfolio for broadcast and video companies at the
International Broadcasting Convention, IBC 2014 in Amsterdam next
month. The Limelight OrchestrateTM platform helps ensure the global
delivery of broadcast quality digital content to online audience on
any device. Visitors to the show can discuss their challenges and
explore with Limelight experts, while viewing demonstrations of
broadcast workflows at stand 3.B15 in Hall 3.
