Limelight’s CDN technology to be deployed on
the Ericsson UDN Edge Cloud Platform and the companies will
collaborate on future edge cloud services
Limelight Networks (NASDAQ: LLNW) and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC)
have signed an agreement to collaborate on content delivery and
edge cloud services.
As more traffic shifts to the public internet from private
networks, the need for high performance networks and distributed
infrastructure is required to maintain a high-quality user
experience. A key solution to this is edge cloud computing.
Providing computing capabilities close to the user or device gives
a superior quality of service. For new low latency applications
such as IoT, gaming, and virtual reality, robust computing
capabilities at the edge of the network are needed. Communications
service providers and technology companies will play a pivotal role
in scaling the next wave of internet traffic.
Ericsson is partnering with service providers globally to build
the Ericsson Unified Delivery Network (UDN) Edge Cloud Platform – a
web-scale edge delivery network, driving performance benefits and
cost efficiencies. Content delivery is the first application built
on the UDN platform. Under the agreement, Limelight’s content
delivery technology will be deployed on the Ericsson UDN Edge Cloud
Platform to expand its global delivery capabilities and increase
delivery capacities.
By providing computing capabilities close to the user or device,
edge computing addresses rapidly increasing data demands and
subscriber experience expectations through distributed
infrastructure, while maintaining high quality and high
performance. Low latency applications, such as IoT, gaming, and web
acceleration are set to benefit.
Bob Lento, CEO of Limelight Networks, says: “We are always
looking for ways to improve the performance and reach of our
network. The strength of Ericsson’s partnerships with
communications service providers through the UDN Network is a key
component of this agreement that enable us to offer even better
reach and performance for our customers. We are delighted to work
with Ericsson on this initiative.”
Marcus Bergstrom, Head of Ericsson UDN, says: “Entering this
agreement with Limelight Networks, a leader in content delivery
networking and edge cloud services, opens a new chapter for the UDN
Network in-line with our strategic plans for our Edge Cloud
Platform.”
"Telstra has consistently demonstrated its commitment to
improving content delivery for all forms of content on our
network,” says Gary Traver, Network Engineering Executive, Telstra.
"This agreement between Limelight and UDN is another example of how
Telstra is working with technology leaders to drive a better user
experience for its customers, and is another proof point of the
value services providers can bring by aggregating their assets to
provide an improved QoE to content providers, aggregators and
technology companies."
“Consumers are now expecting performance in milliseconds, not
seconds,” says Dan Rayburn, Principal Analyst at Frost &
Sullivan. “As applications evolve to offer more interactivity and
the need to operate in real-time, quality and reliability determine
the success or failure of the service. Combining content delivery
technologies with an Edge Cloud Platform that’s distributed inside
ISPs is one of the best ways to guarantee optimal performance and
allow application providers to use edge services to improve the
end-user experience."
