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, multi-CDN support, and 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 amount of content can be a challenge. You need an efficient workflow to add new content, ensure 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 every user location. 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 are looking for easier and faster ways to upload and manage their content, and to ensure availability and flawless delivery at high volume and scale.
Limelight Origin Storage Services address those challenges in a variety of ways. First, the virtually unlimited, distributed capacity ensures that organizations have the space to store their growing supply of digital content regardless of the type of file. Second, the integration and collocation with the Orchestrate Platform ensures that content is retrieved quickly from origin storage— significantly faster than ordinary cloud storage. Third, the distributed nature puts content much closer to the user and provides protection from spikes in demand, no matter where or when they occur. Fourth, our Origin Storage Services support multiple ingest methods including Aspera for ultra-fast uploading of content. Finally, a robust API library provides powerful and flexible capabilities for moving, uploading, and handling content, letting you integrate object storage directly into your workflow.
