OriginDirect
LimelightSITE, the newest addition to our content delivery offerings, leverages Limelight Networks’ advanced routing methodology called OriginDirect™. This innovation bypasses “middle-mile” Internet bottlenecks by fulfilling requests over our own dedicated fiber-optic backbone. So your objects speed their way to your users and your web pages load in a flash — no matter how many visitors are on your site or how far your content needs to travel to their browsers.
Your own private Internet
In fact, you can think of our CDN as a private, global Internet available only to Limelight Networks customers. Our backbone joins together massive Delivery Centers, strategically located to connect directly into more than 900 last-mile access networks. OriginDirect integrates with this robust CDN architecture to retrieve and deliver both static and dynamic web content at lightning-speed.
Rather than trying to maneuver across the often-congested, unpredictable public Internet, OriginDirect routes requests from the edge directly to your origin server. And with same awesome performance, it returns the objects that make up your website over the same private, high-capacity path — directly to your end users.
IP Connect for added performance
If your website is co-located within the same facility as one of our regional Delivery Centers, you can realize even greater performance gains. We can use IP Connect to create a private connection between your site and our CDN — so your content refreshes will always bypass the Internet. IP Connect is available as a Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet link.
Not just for website acceleration
LimelightSITE isn’t the only CDN service that benefits from OriginDirect. This innovative methodology accelerates all traffic on our network, including software downloads, video and audio, and other content delivered using LimelightDELIVER, LimelightSTREAM, or IP Connect services.
