Content Delivery Networking (CDN) Leader Handles Peak Internet
Traffic Levels, Ensuring Flawless Digital Experiences
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Limelight
Networks, Inc.(“Limelight”) (Nasdaq:LLNW), a global leader
in digital content delivery, today announced its Orchestrate™
Content Delivery Platform flawlessly delivered at peak volumes
during recent spikes in Internet traffic. As widely predicted, numerous
large-scale live events, device firmware updates, game releases, and
other large traffic events converged over the past few weeks, causing
Internet traffic volumes to rise.
Major product announcements and software releases from leading
technology and game developers, a Presidential speech, the Scotland
referendum, as well as numerous fashion, music, and sporting events all
contributed to a substantial increase in Internet traffic generally, and
over Limelight’s network in particular.
“Recently, Limelight’s content delivery network (CDN) handled large
upticks in traffic, delivering superb digital experiences to millions of
online users, while the Internet itself was being virtually saturated
with traffic,” said Limelight CEO Bob Lento. “Our ability to handle
these increases in volume, over a sustained period of time, demonstrates
the improvements we have made in our network, our processes, and our
execution.”
During the recent spike, Limelight:
-
Experienced up to 40 percent increases over normal weekday traffic
-
Achieved record traffic levels for a non-live event
-
Hit record traffic levels in Europe and Asia
-
Delivered over 10 petabytes (PB) in less than 24 hours for a major
customer. (By comparison, the entire contents of the U.S. Library of
Congress would be about 3PB*.)
Lento continued, “We appreciate the confidence our customers place in
our abilities, and we are focused on delivering on our commitments.
Effectively managing the delivery of so many simultaneous large events,
releases, and updates requires detailed preparation and flawless
execution. I am proud of our team’s ability to deliver with quality when
our customers needed us most.”
