Online video giant Dailymotion is using the Limelight Orchestrate Delivery service to deliver video in Asia to Internet connected devices.



“We believe video is the best way to capture and share life’s incredible variety,” said Guillaume Clement, vice president of engineering at Dailymotion. “As our global business expands into more markets it’s important for us to offer the best video experience to our viewers around the globe. When put to the test, Limelight was able to provide Dailymotion with the best streaming experience in Asia Pacific (APAC) to support our rapid expansion in the region.”

Dailymotion said that it “needed an extra delivery boost,” in addition to its regular bandwidth capacity, for the most popular videos in its growing APAC market.

“As Dailymotion grows their business globally, they have one chance to make a first impression and they need confidence that their videos will be delivered flawlessly,” said Jon Smith, group vice president and managing director, EMEA at Limelight.

“Even in the face of unexpected traffic spikes, Orchestrate delivers a broadcast quality experience to viewers around the globe, on the device of their choosing.”
