Surpasses previous peak traffic record by over
20 percent
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a global leader in
digital content delivery, today announced that it delivered record
online traffic levels on Tuesday, March 14, 2017, across its global
content delivery network (CDN).
Limelight surpassed the previous record for peak traffic, which
was set on December 13, 2016, by over 20 percent. Limelight also
surpassed its previous record for total sustained traffic delivered
over a 24-hour period, set on December 25, 2016, by more than 15
percent. The previous records were driven by seasonal volume from
significant one-time events. In contrast, yesterday’s records were
driven by Limelight receiving a larger share of pre-planned and
routine traffic from several of Limelight’s largest customers.
“We’re delighted that our customers continue to entrust us with
a growing share of their traffic,” said Dan Carney, senior vice
president of operations at Limelight. “We believe that we are
delivering more traffic this year due to the significant
performance improvements we’ve gained through software optimization
and the continued expansion of our global footprint. Software
optimization has allowed us to expand capacity at dramatically
lower capex levels. The investments we’ve made in our global
network resulted in improved quality for our customers, even in the
face of high traffic demand. These quality improvements are evident
by the continued reduction in calls to our help desk, even as
traffic grows.”
Over the last year, Limelight has expanded its network capacity
by over 50 percent, its server capacity by over 70 percent, and
introduced new key software capabilities and enhancements to meet
growing customer demands. Limelight is also consistently rated as
one of the leading providers by Cedexis, a third-party performance
testing site.
