Technology advancements drive unmatched content delivery performance and reduce the percentage of streams affected by video rebuffers by over 25%
To support increasing global online traffic and content delivery challenges worldwide, Limelight Networks announced significant new performance and functionality advancements to the Limelight Orchestrate Platform. By optimizing purpose-built software and services, the Orchestrate Platform offers breakthrough delivery performance, even over congested or changing network conditions — all without requiring special client-side code.
Customer-provided real world data shows dramatic reductions across geographies and network types:
- For a major US client: 33% reduction in SD (480p) video sessions experiencing rebuffers
- For a major US client: 25% reduction in HD (1080p) video sessions experiencing rebuffers
- For a major global video streamer: 41% reduction in video sessions experiencing rebuffers for mobile devices in an emerging market
According to Gartner, a lack of fixed network infrastructure in many emerging markets will drive a continued mobile-first approach to infrastructure deployment with more than 80 percent of broadband connections over wireless through 2020, making mobile content delivery performance critical.
“Consumers worldwide are taking control of their video viewing experiences. They want to choose what to watch and when to watch it. And they expect it to be delivered flawlessly on any device,” said Anil Kumar, Managing Director at Cinesoft. “With the Orchestrate Platform, we can meet those expectations because we’re able to deliver the best viewing experiences over any network connection to people anywhere.”
“With today’s announcement, we’re making improvements to many aspects of the business model. From content acquisition, to content management, to content delivery, with advanced self-service capabilities, and incremental support for emerging protocols, we’re determined to make sure our customers deliver an experience that’s superior to any other in the market. Content delivery is a crucial aspect of the user experience, and we believe customers will value our superior performance,” said Nigel Burmeister, VP of Marketing at Limelight Networks.
