By combining Limelight's global infrastructure that includes caching in more than 80 worldwide Points-of-Presence (PoPs) and 25+ terabits per second of egress capacity with Qwilt's open caching in ISP networks, the two companies are able to deliver a solution that provides fast local, regional, and global caching and delivery.
Qwilt caches deployed within operator networks are available to fill requests at the network edge without needing to traverse the public internet. For content that is not available in the local ISP's Qwilt caches, Limelight's global content delivery network (CDN) provides a greater than 98 percent industry-leading cache-hit efficiency to deliver the highest QoE.
"This is a significant milestone for the content delivery ecosystem as it marks the first time that a content delivery network and last mile Internet service providers have been tied together with open caching in a fully integrated system,"said Alon Maor, CEO of Qwilt. "This announcement is a harbinger of one way the industry will rise to meet the need for scale, reach and capacity. We are proud to be partnering with Limelight Networks to deliver this new capability to the market."
"We're pleased to be working with Qwilt, and we're committed to helping our customers deliver an experience that's superior to any other in the market,"said Ersin Galioglu, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Limelight. "Limelight's desire is to lower end device latency by continuously extending caching and compute capability to the edge."
