TEMPE, Ariz., April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Limelight Networks
(Nasdaq: LLNW), a leader in digital presence management, today
announced that Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher
of video games, has selected Limelight for content delivery and
digital presence support.
Limelight's global reach enables Capcom to provide the same
standard of excellent services to gamers and fans everywhere around
the globe.
"Capcom's websites see upwards of one million views per day,"
said Tom James, Director of Web
Technologies at Capcom. "We have to predict as well as
prepare for those spikes in views. Having a scalable solution
from Limelight is incredibly important to ensuring that our
websites are always available. Limelight helps us make certain that
our fans have access to our sites, from any device, anywhere, at
any time. With Limelight's expertise in the area, we look
forward to exploring more ways for Capcom to streamline our
operations."
When Capcom began evaluating content delivery providers, it had
a very short time to find a new solution. Limelight worked closely
with Capcom to orchestrate a smooth and swift transition, which
resulted in zero downtime for Capcom customers. By integrating
Limelight's massively provisioned global platform into their
systems, Capcom's technical team is freed from thinking about
maintaining uptime. This means they can focus their creative
energies on other projects, thus further optimizing company
efficiency.
"Limelight is excited to work with Capcom and to forge a
relationship, which we hope to grow in years to come," said
Joseph DePalo, senior vice president
of content delivery engineering and operations at Limelight.
"Capcom has a loyal following of web viewers, and we are committed
to making sure their experience is a seamless extension of Capcom's
services."
Capcom's iconic brands like Street Fighter® and Resident Evil®
engender incredible levels of passion from the gaming community.
With Limelight's support, Capcom's web destinations, ranging
from its main site www.capcom.com to its community site
www.capcom-unity.com, are now a more dynamic and engaging
experience.
