Plarium selects Limelight after company outperforms competitors in
global RUM testing
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Limelight
Networks, Inc.(“Limelight”) (Nasdaq:LLNW), a global leader
in digital content delivery, today announced that Plarium Global Ltd has
deployed the Limelight OrchestrateTM (“Orchestrate”) Content
Delivery and Cloud Storage platform to enhance the performance,
reliability and experience of its online games – which are used by 90
million people worldwide and roughly three million gamers each day.
Plarium selected Limelight after extensive and anonymous Real User
Monitoring (RUM) testing in multiple regions across the world, in which
Limelight significantly outperformed its competitors.
Plarium is dedicated to creating the best mobile and social experience
for gamers worldwide and is consistently ranked among Facebook’s top
hardcore game developers. The company serves hardcore gamers, making it
critical to have optimal game performance across several channels
including the web, social and mobile. Any downtime or latency could
impact Plarium’s strong customer following, thus the company chose the
Orchestrate platform to ensure they had the fastest and most reliable
platform and support.
“It is not acceptable to our gamers for content to go offline, so we
needed to be assured that the solution we chose was highly reliable,”
said Yair Pines, Head of IT at Plarium. “Limelight met and exceeded all
of these criteria, and this makes my world much easier. The migration
process was seamless, and the process of uploading new content is fast
and simple, so our gamers get the performance they expect.”
Since deploying the Orchestrate platform, Plarium’s game load time has
significantly decreased thereby improving the end-user experience.
Additionally, they were able to scale operations and availability into
new regions of the world to grow their business and increase their loyal
customer base.
“Plarium serves a large group of devoted and passionate customers. Even
the slightest decrease in performance or availability might affect its
reputation,” said Kirby Wadsworth, CMO at Limelight. “More importantly,
high performance and availability helps differentiate Plarium in the
eyes of this very demanding market. We’re excited to be working closely
with this industry leader to help them better engage and grow their
online audience, and look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
