Continued network investment and software
innovation make Limelight one of the highest-performing CDNs
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a global leader in
digital content delivery, today announced that content can now be
downloaded faster and viewers can stream videos at higher quality
thanks to a major upgrade to its global infrastructure. The
advancements deliver breakthrough improvements to performance,
capacity, and efficiency.
Limelight has completed the global rollout of a new and enhanced
version of its EdgePrism OS software that’s designed to optimize
user experience for the fewest video rebuffers, lowest latency,
highest throughput, and superior security. This new software helps
boost Limelight’s edge server capacity by more than 120 percent by
maximizing the performance of Limelight’s server hardware and
application suite. As a result, content can be downloaded faster,
and viewers can stream videos at higher quality while experiencing
fewer rebuffers. Customer-provided real-world data shows a greater
than 19% reduction in video sessions experiencing rebuffers.
Limelight’s global private QoS-enabled network includes more
than 80 Points-of-Presence (PoPs) in over 40 metropolitan locations
with 29+ terabits per-second of egress capacity interconnected with
more than 900 major ISPs and last-mile networks. Unlike traditional
CDN vendors that rely on third-party technologies for key
components of their content delivery infrastructure, Limelight’s
ongoing investment in the development and optimization of every
component of its CDN provides industry-leading performance, even
over congested or changing network conditions.
Other recent advancements and enhancements include:
- Faster Servers and Connectivity:
Edge servers have been updated to the latest high-density 1U
servers with solid state drives and 50 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
network connectivity. This hardware update increases edge compute
capacity and improves performance and cache management while
reducing the number of servers deployed.
- New EdgePrism DNS: Limelight’s
rules-based Domain Name System (DNS) now features intelligent
Point-of-Presence (PoP) and server selection with real-time
decision making that utilizes a constantly updated map of the
internet to ensure optimal delivery performance and throughput for
each customer request.
- 100 GbE Backbone Links: Core
backbone links have been upgraded to 100 GbE, allowing cache-fill
traffic, dynamic content, and integrated service data to bypass the
congested public internet, resulting in faster, more reliable, and
more secure content delivery.
- PoP Expansion: Global egress
capacity has been expanded by more than 40 percent by adding 11 new
PoPs and completing full upgrades of 20 additional PoPs to address
growing market demand for CDN services.
“Even in emerging regions -- where viewers rely on older mobile
networks for video streaming – Limelight is helping customers
achieve their most important business objectives by improving the
quality of experience they deliver to their viewers,” said Steve
Miller-Jones, Senior Director of Product Management at Limelight
Networks. “Our ongoing investments in our network and software are
paying off, resulting in greater capacity, broader coverage, and
increased network performance.”
