January 16, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Content delivery network provider Limelight Networks (llnw.com) announced on Tuesday its global delivery capability now exceeds 1Tbps. The company decided to upgrade its infrastructure based on its strong customer growth in the categories of video, music, games and social media.
Limelight’s delivery capacity is a combination of highly scalable delivery services deployed at key regional locations coupled with provisioning to broadband last-mile networks. This architecture is designed to meet global digital media delivery needs, wherein increasingly large files, such as music, video, and movies, are being delivered to rapidly growing worldwide broadband audiences.
“Our high performance content delivery network’s design has allowed us to scale past this industry milestone in support of unprecedented customer demand,” says Jeff Lunsford, chairman and CEO of Limelight Networks. “More exciting growth lies ahead: delivered file sizes are growing rapidly with increases in media quality and length, content libraries are expanding steadily as the Internet becomes a mainstream distribution channel, and the number of publisher-to viewer connections is exploding as most new portable, desktop and entertainment devices are being built digital media-ready with full Internet connectivity.”
Limelight Networks offers three primary delivery services including content delivery through HTTP/Web distribution of all digital media formats, streaming media through on-demand and live streaming for all major formats, and custom CDN, which include custom content delivery deployments and solutions.
