LONDON, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Limelight Networks
(Nasdaq: LLNW), the leading content delivery network (CDN) for digital media,
announced today that it has been selected as the exclusive CDN provider to
deliver video content for all 17 of Dailymotion's growing portfolio of
localised, country-specific online portals. Dailymotion, the first independent
video sharing site, needed a trusted partner that could help support its
in-house content distribution infrastructure. Dailymotion has been
experiencing exponential growth, in terms of site traffic, content volume and
general brand awareness. In June 2007, Dailymotion drew 37.6 million users who
viewed a total of 715 million online videos.
"Limelight Networks is a great addition to our delivery infrastructure as
it allows our users to access our content faster and with better reliability,"
said Stephane Enten, vice president of engineering at Dailymotion. "Limelight
Networks has not only the global reach and capacity our sites demand, but also
flexibility and a deep understanding of our needs."
Dailymotion provides global delivery of localised, high-quality video
content to more than 37 million unique users worldwide. Dailymotion's service
is architected to accommodate video files of up to 150 MB in size and
20 minutes in length, enabling the delivery of richer, more extensive media
content. Consumers are able to browse files by tags, channels, or
user-created groups to further enhance the video sharing and viewing
experience.
"Dailymotion's core audience is made up of users creating and leveraging
videos in order to connect with others around the world with like interests,"
said George Meek, vice president for Europe at Limelight Networks. "Limelight
Networks' scalable CDN enables Dailymotion to offer its members a truly
unique, rich and interactive media experience on the Internet, while at the
same time maintaining performance levels as traffic, video file size and
content collections increase."
