Qwilt, a leading provider of content delivery and open caching solutions, and Limelight Networks, a global leader in digital content delivery, announced the two companies will provide integrated caching that delivers the best Quality of Experience (QoE).
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.
Alon Maor, CEO, Qwilt
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.
Ersin Galioglu, VP of Strategic Initiative, Limelight
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. Limelight's desire is to lower end device latency by continuously extending caching and compute capability to the edge.
