Record Breaking Traffic for Limelight Networks Tied to New Video Game Releases and Software Downloads

Business Wire
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW), a global leader in
digital content delivery, today announced that several internet
events earlier this week, including popular video game releases and
software downloads, drove record traffic levels for the
company.
The convergence of these events resulted in Limelight exceeding
2015 peak traffic levels by 28 percent and surpassing the previous
global traffic record set in June by more than 12 percent. The
United Kingdom alone saw an increase of 66 percent over previous
record traffic levels.
In anticipation of growing capacity demands, Limelight has been
expanding network capacity to ensure consumers can download what
they want, when they want, even in the face of significant online
congestion.
Demand for video game, software and movie releases periodically
drives very high traffic demand. Limelight’s ability to manage
traffic during these traffic spikes has continued to improve due to
the investments the company has made.
“We’re constantly investing in and expanding our network to
support increased traffic demands of our customers and have doubled
our capacity since January. Despite this growth in capacity and
traffic, we experienced 37 percent fewer support incidents over the
same period. Prioritizing our customers’ experience and our focus
on the content delivery business has allowed us to improve
performance at a disproportionate rate compared to our
competitors,” said Dan Carney, Senior Vice President of Operations
at Limelight. “We’re very pleased with our peak performance and are
always looking for ways to further improve the delivery of customer
content. Based on customer feedback and third party data, our
performance, feature set, availability and capacity is better than
ever.”
The higher propensity for consumers around the globe to download
digital content is supported by Limelight’s 2016 State of Digital
Download research report. The report found that nearly half (45
percent) of consumers are more likely to download digital content
of all types than they were a year ago. New and updated apps
top the list with 91 percent, followed by OS updates with 87
percent of people downloading updates, followed closely by music
and video games.
