Limelight's Unique OVP Solution Earns Global Product Line Strategy Award
TEMPE, Ariz., 2013-01-17 15:05 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Limelight Networks (Nasdaq:LLNW), a global leader in digital presence
management, today announced that the company has been named Frost & Sullivan's
2012 Global Product Line Strategy Award recipient in the Online Video Platform
market. Measured against more than 80 companies across the industry,
Limelight's OVP solution, bolstered by its renowned Content Delivery Network,
is uniquely positioned in the market to solve content providers' needs to
deliver a streamlined viewer experience.
Online video is being published, viewed, and monetized at an incredible rate
and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Nearly 900 billion
online videos have been streamed across the Internet to customers around the
world. In this growing industry, business models surrounding online video are
still being defined, so the demand for solutions that can simplify back-end
production and processing of video are in high demand.
'Limelight is a superior online video platform market contender, because the
company has obviously figured out the value that both OVP and content delivery
networks (CDNs) offer to the online video management marketplace,' said Loren
Johnson, Frost & Sullivan research analyst. 'Its combined solution is one of a
kind in the OVP market; Frost & Sullivan firmly believes that the company has
created a unique integrated solution that is exactly what the market needs. As
the OVP market continues to grow and shake out weaker vendors, Limelight is
well-positioned to grow its market share faster and more consistently than its
competitors.'
'Rich media is a requirement for any digital storytelling today, whether the
goal is to educate audiences, monetize content, or drive purchases. We are
committed to helping customers manage and deliver a rich media-optimized
digital presence and to helping ensure a seamless user experience for their
viewers everywhere, on any device,' said Edgardo Nazario, Senior Vice President
of Product Management at Limelight. 'We're honored to be recognized as an
industry leader by Frost & Sullivan. We will continue to drive innovation in
