Growing the Ecosystem, From Creation to Consumption

There are many links in the chain that begins with content creation and ends with audience consumption. Each content publisher has their own workflow, production schedules, and preferences for media formats, distributions, approach to monetization, measurement, and more. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

Over two years ago, we created an ecosystem where registered partners could use our global infrastructure as a platform upon which to innovate, collaborate, and build unique solutions that address different portions of the creation to consumption chain. Through our open APIs, we enabled a community of over 100 companies that include Limelight Networks technologies in go-to-market solutions spanning from media players to managed hosting solutions. This means content publishers can pick and choose from the community to assemble a best-of-breed solution that is specifically tailored to their needs.

Today, we are expanding awareness of our partner community with the introduction of two new logos:

Limelight Solution Partners build products that expand the usefulness of Limelight Networks’ services to customers. For example, content publishing systems, ad insertion systems, multi-bitrate encoding tools, enhanced reporting or measurement solutions, or more. For a complete list of these solutions, visit here.

Limelight Authorized Resellers can package and resell the products and services of Limelight Networks, either as an independent offering or as part of an approved bundle.

If you are a registered member of our partner community, you will also notice that we are introducing a new self-service portal that will provide information on how to market Limelight Networks services, on-board your customers, and gain access to technical information. This portal will always be a work-in-progress as we add and update new materials. If you have already joined the community, register here for a login.
