Extensive Testing Proves Market Leader Now Delivers Dynamic Web Content Faster
Than Global Competitors in Every Region
TEMPE, Ariz., 2013-10-15 15:05 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Limelight Networks (Nasdaq:LLNW), a leader in digital presence management and
delivery, today announced the next generation of its award-winning Limelight
Orchestrate(tm) ('Orchestrate') Digital Presence Platform. The enhanced
capabilities of the Orchestrate V2.5 platform help organizations better engage
digital audiences by ensuring consistent high performance digital experiences
across channels, devices, and geographies. The Orchestrate V2.5 platform
supports faster content delivery, while addressing the customer challenges
presented by increased and erratic content consumption, and the need to support
an ever-expanding ecosystem of mobile devices.
In recent Real User Measurement (RUM) testing, validated by third parties,
Limelight demonstrated up to an 8x website performance improvement, translating
into an 88 percent reduction in website visitor wait time. These results showed
that Limelight delivers dynamic web content across the globe up to 45 percent
faster than all major competitors.
NeuLion Inc., a leading provider of OTT (Over-the-Top) and TVE (Television
Everywhere) solutions, has integrated its NeuLion TV Everywhere Platform with
the Orchestrate platform. 'When launching a multi-screen live and on demand
video service, content owners need to meet, and exceed, consumer expectations
of the viewing experience. The Limelight Orchestrate platform provides a highly
scalable and elastic cloud-based delivery platform with bandwidth control,
acceleration, and optimal performance to ensure delivery of that content
anywhere, on any device, at any time. We're excited that, by working with
Limelight, we can provide an exceptional offering that meets this need,' said
Chris Wagner, executive vice president and co-founder at NeuLion.
Delivery Experience Enhancements
-- Enhanced caching. The Orchestrate Content Delivery Service improvements
provide additional flexibility in caching settings to enable customers to
maximize cache-hit ratios. Website visitors will benefit from shorter wait
times as the content is closer to the user, resulting in faster downloads
and less video buffering.
-- Dynamic Content Acceleration. The Orchestrate Performance Service provides
end-to-end optimization enhancements, delivering dynamic web content to end
users up to 8x faster and 40 percent to 65 percent faster than CDNs who do
not have this end-to-end capability.
-- Front End Acceleration. Enhancements to front end acceleration reduce wait
times and boost web page loading for specific browsers, and find the most
efficient path to route objects, decreasing the number of trips required
from the point of origin to the end user and the size of each request.
-- Zero-Time-to-Publish (ZTP). Now available for API uploads, ZTP in the
Orchestrate Video Service enables playback immediately after a file has
been uploaded allowing customers to communicate breaking news or
announcements instantaneously.
Scale, Elasticity and Availability - Network Infrastructure Improvements
Limelight has thousands of servers deployed around the globe in dense
architectures within major metro markets. The servers are peered with access
networks to provide better transit of traffic across geographies. Recent
enhancements allow customers the ability to upload and access their content
globally and include:
-- Infrastructure Enhancements. Hundreds of additional servers deployed across
the globe add more than two terabits per second of incremental capacity.
-- The Orchestrate Cloud Storage Service. Enhanced policies enable customers
to control the number and location of copies of their media, and designate
the retention time of a file or object.
According to Senior Analyst David Aponovich, in the report 'Refocus the Digital
Experience Technology Investment Discussion' from Forrester Research, Inc., in
September 9, 2013: 'Businesses have a strong rationale to invest in tools and
technologies that support multichannel digital customer experiences. Stellar
digital experiences, supported by a growing set of technologies and
capabilities, have the power to help businesses and brands better engage with
customers, deliver more effective digital offerings and services, drive new
revenue and higher profits, and stand out in crowded markets.'
Robert Lento, CEO of Limelight Networks, said, 'Our customers are assured
superb delivery of their digital content on any device, anywhere in the world.
We know that performance matters - and performance affects our customers'
success. With the Orchestrate V2.5 platform, we've accelerated content
delivery resulting in an optimized total delivery experience.'
