Limelight Origin Storage Services is the intelligent solution for driving great user experience through Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Simplify your workflow with ingest automation, high availability, global scale, and multi-CDN support, all at an excellent value. And keep your audience engaged with fast, reliable delivery of video-on-demand, file distribution, web acceleration, gaming, or e-commerce content.
Your content is the foundation of your digital presence. However, managing a large content library can be a challenge. You need a workflow that lets you efficiently add new content, provide fast access in multiple regions, secure and protect your content, and control cost. And most importantly, you need to deliver great customer experience every time, for every piece of content, to users everywhere.
Content delivery networks ensure fast delivery, but when a piece of content isn’t cached, it must be retrieved from origin storage. Traditional onsite or cloud storage often suffers unacceptably slow response, creating a poor user experience that can increase churn. Organizations like yours are looking for easier and faster ways to upload and manage content and ensure availability and flawless delivery at high volume and scale.
Limelight Origin Storage Services address those challenges in a variety of ways.
Engage your users with fast response and sustained quality every time, for every piece of content, for every user location.
Save time and resources with tools that automatically replicate and place content close to your users.
Protect against downtime, loss of data, harm to your brand, and other consequences of cyber-attacks.

Limelight Origin Storage Services are available in two classes, Standard and Infrequent Access.
The Standard class is ideal for serving frequently accessed content with ultimate performance to multiple global geographies. Georedundant replication automatically places content close to your audience based on policies you choose at no extra cost. Content is automatically retrieved from the fastest site, with automatic failover in case of issues. Choose Standard to deliver the industry’s highest performance across all regions in your chosen geographies, with milliseconds response time, high performance, low latency, and 100% availability. Standard class ensures the fastest response and highest availability for every asset in every region every time.
The Infrequent Access class is ideal for content that is accessed less frequently, typically less than once every 30 days. Content is stored in a single global location and retrieved using Limelight’s global private network for delivery. Infrequent Access offers fast performance and low-latency delivery of less frequently accessed content.
