Limelight Networks Selected by Nissan Motors to Deliver Japanese Web Site

TOKYO, May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Limelight Networks (Nasdaq: LLNW), today announced that the company has been selected by Nissan Motors to provide content delivery services for Nissan’s Japanese website, (http://www.nissan.co.jp). Terms of the relationship were not disclosed.

Visitors to Nissan’s website will be able to see a photo gallery of interior and exterior designs, car specifications, flash-enhanced image gallery and respective model features including price — all using the LimelightDELIVER http streaming service. In addition, users will also have access to Windows Media Player-based video clips on the web site.

“Nissan is a leader in the automobile manufacturing industry not only in the Japanese market but also around the world. We are pleased to support Nissan’s educational and ecommerce initiatives by leveraging our global, media-grade optical network,” said Shinji Tsukamoto, vice president, Limelight Networks, Inc., and president, Limelight Networks Japan. “With Nissan’s adoption of Limelight Networks CDN services, they will be able to provide increasing numbers of visitors to their site with a rich variety of content, without stress to their internal infrastructure.”

The robust and scalable infrastructure of the Limelight Network CDN was engineered to meet the challenges of delivering rich media to today’s Internet users, by meeting the challenge of the four dimensions of content delivery: increasing object size, entire content libraries, ever-growing audience size, and the immediate availability of every library object, regardless of popularity. Nissan selected Limelight Networks because of the auto manufacturer’s “long-tail” library of content, and its need for high-availability and quick response while distributing high bit rate, high quality media files.
