New Serverless Computing Addition to
Limelight’s Edge Platform Provides Developers Direct Access to its
Powerful Global Network
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a leading provider of
content delivery network (CDN) and edge cloud services, has
expanded its edge capabilities by launching EdgeFunctions, a new
serverless compute service which allows developers to tap into the
power of the company’s global network and gives them the
flexibility to deploy and run their own code.
EdgeFunctions provides a customizable environment at the network
edge for streamlining content workflows, performing time-sensitive
decisions, and customizing user experiences. Providing this
environment at the network edge offers Limelight’s low latency,
on-demand scalability and high-performance network to developers.
EdgeFunctions is ideal for streaming video and content delivery use
cases such as personalized streaming, content protection, dynamic
ad insertion, A/B testing, and image manipulation. Functions are
globally available in Limelight’s highly distributed network and
run closest to where content requests are received, ensuring
Limelight’s lowest possible latency for code execution and optimal
user experiences.
“We are thrilled to partner with Limelight to integrate our
NexGuard Streaming forensic watermarking technology with
EdgeFunctions and safeguard a premium OTT provider’s content from
leaks and piracy,” said Jean-Philippe Plantevin, VP Anti-Piracy at
NAGRA, a leading provider of content protection and multiscreen TV
solutions. “Using EdgeFunctions, we were able to quickly deploy our
customized solution into Limelight’s network edge locations and run
them on demand, at scale, for both VOD and live OTT watermarking
workflows.”
EdgeFunctions leverages Limelight’s global network to put
flexibility and power directly into the hands of developers with
support for several programming languages including Node.js, Python
and Go. Its APIs enable these developers to manage, deploy and run
their functions at the network edge and take advantage of
Limelight’s direct peering connections with more than 1,000 ISPs
and leading public cloud providers.
“Edge technology and solutions are rapidly expanding to meet a
diverse set of customer needs. Limelight has an extensive global
network with edge locations across the globe,” said Dave McCarthy,
Research Director, Edge Strategies at IDC. “Giving developers more
dynamic control over content combined with Limelight’s extensive
global network optimizes the delivery of video at the edge.”
EdgeFunctions is Limelight’s latest innovation in the company’s
edge compute solutions. These edge compute solutions now include
serverless, virtual machine and bare metal solutions, providing
edge compute capabilities how and where customers need them. In
2018 Limelight launched its first Edge Compute offering that
allowed customers to access a highly connected environment that
delivers low latency by combining globally distributed compute
power with Limelight's high-performance network.
“We’ve evolved beyond high performing online video delivery with
new innovative solutions to enhance online experiences and provide
real value to our customers in ways that only we can. Now
developers have the power to create and run bandwidth-intensive,
latency-sensitive applications throughout our network edge,” said
Bob Lento, CEO at Limelight. “Our extensive Edge Compute offering
coupled with EdgeFunctions provides one of the most comprehensive
content delivery and edge tool sets available today, and we have a
robust development pipeline with much more to come. I’m thrilled to
provide these services to the world’s leading companies.”
