Surpasses previous online traffic record set in
November 2017 by more than 20 percent
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a global leader in
digital content delivery, today announced that it delivered record
online traffic levels in December 2017, a 21 percent increase over
its previous record set in November 2017 and a 23 percent increase
from December 2016. Record traffic volume was driven by several
large customers choosing Limelight to meet the high demand for
content during their busy and performance-sensitive holiday season.
This was in addition to regular day-to-day traffic sent over the
Limelight content delivery network (CDN).
Despite the record demand, Limelight’s focus on service quality
resulted in an historic low number of trouble tickets. In addition,
with system-wide software and infrastructure upgrades, Limelight
servers are delivering record traffic per server. Compared to
December last year, Limelight delivered over 20 percent more
traffic, using 5 percent fewer servers and the higher service
quality resulted in almost 50 percent fewer customer incidents.
“We’re very pleased with the multidimensional improvements in
our performance, functionality and efficiency. Those improvements
were the underpinning of our success in efficiently serving
record-breaking traffic,” said Dan Carney, Senior Vice President of
Operations at Limelight. “Given our global reach, connectivity,
secure and private interconnection, and connectivity to last mile
providers, we’re more than a Content Delivery Network. Our
capabilities are introducing us to new opportunities in the edge
computing space. We look forward to continuing to serve our
customers who trust Limelight to solve increasingly challenging
business problems.”
