Content Delivery Network Expansion for Limelight Networks
Content delivery network expansion is a great way for content delivery network providers to reach into new markets to entice a wider breadth of customers whilst also ensuring their current clients are able to delivery data around the world with ease.
By building new points of presence (PoPs) in new locations around the globe, a content delivery network can increase its bandwidth capacity whilst giving customers new locations through which to be rerouted when requesting data, thus reducing latency if those locations are geographically closer to them. It is because of this that many CDN providers are embarking on content delivery network expansion.
Content Delivery Network Expansion Benefits
The latest CDN provider to expand their content delivery network is Limelight Networks. Limelight Networks are a leader in global digital content delivery, and they have announced that they will be creating three new points of presence in India, a fast growing market for content delivery network providers.
The new points of presence will be located in Bombay, Chennai and Delhi, all areas with high internet growth and consistent with Limelight’s commitment to build new high speed infrastructure in India to help support the country’s fast growing requirements for content delivery network performance.
“Movies, music and sports are the foundation of digital content for the 1.3 billion people of India. As infrastructure improves, it’s essential to provide the highest quality online experiences to stay competitive,” said Dan Carney, Senior Vice President of Operations at Limelight Networks.
“To address this demand, Limelight will bring its full suite of capabilities to the market, and we’ve already expanded capacity more than six fold over the last 12 months. With the government’s focus coupled with investments in the private sector, we believe the adoption curve will be steep and growth will be strong. We want to help make dropped connections, download errors, buffering and pixilation a thing of the past.”
