October 2, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Content delivery network provider Limelight Networks (llnw.com) announced on Tuesday that it is deploying the latest version of its global Adobe Flash Media content delivery infrastructure and services.
Built on Adobe Flash Media Server and Limelight’s global content delivery network, Limelight’s Flash Media Server CDN infrastructure incorporates several technical advances and industry firsts, says the company. Limelight says it is the first CDN to move its Flash live streaming service based on Adobe Flash Media Server from limited release, or “beta” stage, to generally available production service. Limelight is also the first CDN in the industry to implement Adobe Flash Media Server in true edge-origin CDN architecture on servers at every CDN location worldwide, says the provider.
“Adobe Flash technology is a leading format among our media savvy customers and partners,” says David Hatfield, senior VP of worldwide sales and marketing at Limelight Networks. “With the ubiquity of Adobe Flash Player combined with enhanced scalability and performance in the Adobe Flash Media Server, we are fully committed to partnering with Adobe to deliver highly reliable, broadcast quality consumer experiences over the Internet.”
