Customers to get free 25GB of Limelight’s
high-performing Origin Storage
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a global leader in
digital content delivery, today introduced Intelligent Ingest, a
unique capability for Limelight Origin Storage that helps customers
upload and deliver content better, faster, and more
cost-effectively. In addition, the company introduced a permanent
no-cost access offering for usage of up to 25GB of storage
capacity.
A shortage of skilled technology talent is often cited by CIOs
as a major challenge. For storage, Gartner recommends IT leaders
deploy self-managing storage solutions that reduce reliance on
storage experts and external management tools1.
Limelight’s new Intelligent Ingest capability simplifies
migration of video-on-demand, file distribution, and web, gaming or
e-commerce content to Limelight Origin Storage, providing fast
content delivery network (CDN) performance and high availability.
It offers customers two modes to determine what content to
automatically move and when -- based on audience demand and based
on a manifest. This automation minimizes the impact on staff time
while ensuring cost-effective use of cloud resources. All content
can be migrated, or just a select portion, without interruption to
workflows.
To allow customers to experience the benefits of Intelligent
Ingest and Origin Storage, Limelight is giving 25GB of free Origin
Storage to all new customers, as well as current content
delivery customers who do not use Origin Storage. More details are
available here.
“Fast load times are everything in our business. Our
listeners will leave and may not come back if we have slow load
times or rebuffering,” said Paul Vandegrift, Vice President,
Vendor Relationship Management at Napster. “Limelight’s Origin
Storage solves this problem for us. It integrates origin storage
within our delivery network in multiple locations, so retrieving
content that isn’t in the cache is fast and efficient.”
Limelight Origin Storage is a distributed object-based storage
system, which is tightly integrated with the Limelight private CDN
and optimized for superior content delivery. From January 1 to
March 23, 2017, public data from independent real user measurement
solution Cedexis shows Limelight Origin Storage is 92 percent
faster on average than cloud storage offerings. Internal Limelight
testing has shown performance improvements of up to 200 percent for
specific customer workflows.
Additional benefits of Limelight’s Origin Storage Services
include:
- High Performance: Provides
superior performance and functionality when delivering content
through the Limelight CDN.
- Multi-CDN Capable: Serves as the
primary or backup origin for any delivery service or CDN,
regardless of the location and size of the content library.
- Cost-Free Replication: Offers
automated, cost-free and policy-based content replication, reducing
the risk of content being unavailable and providing a superior
customer experience, regardless of location.
- Workload Automation: Allows
automatic upload and serves content from the fastest location on
download. Capabilities such as Intelligent Ingest dramatically
simplify tasks that previously were manual, time consuming, and
error-prone.
“For many businesses, migrating content can take a lot of time,
money, and resources,” said Nigel Burmeister, VP of Marketing at
Limelight. “Limelight Intelligent Ingest takes the pain and expense
out of the process. In addition, Limelight Origin Storage automates
replication at no extra cost and gets content from the fastest
site, ensuring high availability and fast performance.”
