Limelight Launches Managed CDN

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:LLNW - News) (“Limelight”) today announced the formal launch of Limelight Deploy, a Managed CDN Platform offering. Limelight Deploy enables network operators, access networks, content aggregators, and enterprises to gain control over the rapidly increasing content on their networks and quickly deploy revenue-generating CDN services integrated with a rich set of cloud-based services such as website and application acceleration, storage, web and video management. Customers can also choose to leverage the world’s 7th largest network and one of the world’s only global, proven, at-scale CDNs.

Network operators are looking to reduce costs, quickly expand their service offerings and generate new revenue streams due to increasing competition from an ever expanding roster of competing services from access networks, content aggregators, and enterprises. Most importantly, as the demand for content continues to grow, operators are seeking to leverage their network investments by gaining more control over the flow of content across their network infrastructure. CDN services offer these operators the opportunity to reduce the costs of the content explosion, leverage their network infrastructure investments and evolve their service mix beyond their rapidly commoditizing traditional markets to provide new services such as website and application acceleration, storage, web and video management on a global scale to rapidly generate revenue and increase margins.

“The Content Delivery Network solution that we developed in partnership with Limelight Networks has helped us address our business customers’ growing need to deliver a broad range of rich, high-quality content to their online audiences, including streaming video, audio, and images,” said Jeremy Wubs, Vice-President — Product Management, Bell Business Markets. “As Limelight’s exclusive Canadian partner, our CDN solutions are also helping businesses offer the best possible user experience with increased website reliability and performance.”
