Limelight helps sports fans score thousands of
streaming events from DAZN
Limelight Networks (Nasdaq: LLNW), a leading provider of digital
content delivery, video, cloud security, and edge computing
services, today announced that the company is working with live and
on-demand sports streaming service DAZN to help millions of sports
fans catch their favorite events in broadcast-quality streams.
“No one wants an important play in a game interrupted by
buffering,” said Robin Oakley, Head of Distribution Technology at
Perform Group, owner of DAZN. “Working with Limelight, we’re able
to create and deliver a broadcast-like experience low on buffering,
low on start-up times, and high on picture quality.”
When DAZN scored a 10-year exclusive contract with the J.
League, Japan’s leading professional soccer league, extensive
modeling showed they would quickly run out of server capacity in
the region. To ensure high quality video streaming, handle
increasing viewers, and be ready for further international
expansion, they chose Limelight’s content delivery network (CDN).
Today, they’re using Limelight services to help deliver thousands
of major sports events yearly on over 100 channels.
“Sports fans are gaining unprecedented global access to
thousands of events thanks to DAZN’s fast growing live and
on-demand service,” said Emma Whitmore, Head of Account Management,
EMEA at Limelight Networks. “Our massive global private network
provides the speed and capacity needed to ensure DAZN’s customers
receive the best possible viewing experience on any connected
device, anywhere in the world.”
