Network Next Beats Game Latency with Limelight Network’s Edge Platform

Business Wire
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a leading provider of
edge cloud services, today announced that Network Next is using
Limelight’s edge cloud platform to make the internet better for
games.
The internet of today is not optimized for games. It favors
static and streaming content, with heavy throughput demands, over
real-time applications like online multiplayer games, which require
the lowest latency possible. Network Next is changing this. Network
Next's technology integrates directly into a game and creates an
optimized, low-latency route for each player.
Network Next uses Limelight’s highly distributed and flexible
edge cloud solution to provide the best online gaming experience
for players. Network Next technology steers game traffic across
Limelight’s network via Limelight Points-of-Presence throughout the
U.S. These edge nodes are directly connected to game origin data
centers to significantly reduce latency and improve consistency for
players.
“We’re making the internet better for games because to gamers,
latency really matters. The difference between winning and losing
in a game can be as little as 5 milliseconds,” said Glenn Fiedler,
CEO at Network Next. “We’re excited to be working with Limelight,
who understands this challenge and the needs of our customers, and
whose technology puts compute power at the edge. This allows us to
dramatically reduce latency and significantly improve the gaming
experience for players.”
“Milliseconds translate into mega-advantage for players in
social gaming environments. To be second best is not an option.
Latency can occur at various points and Limelight is determined to
reduce it at the network level. Network Next recognizes this
capability and has partnered with Limelight to even the playing
field in its next-generation gaming network solution,” said Ersin
Galioglu, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Limelight.
“Our global edge compute resources coupled with a private backbone
bypasses internet bottlenecks and provides a sizable latency
reduction over traditional solutions.”
