Yare Media Selects Limelight to Provide Live Over-the-Top Video for Customers
Yare provides over-the-top (OTT) solutions to address changing content distribution models in sports, broadcasting, and entertainment. As business has expanded, the company needed a reliable global Content Delivery Network (CDN) that could support live and on-demand video globally.
“Regardless of whether it’s a live video stream of the weekly local news, or the 2016 Olympics, we deliver the content reliably around the world to over 100,000 concurrent viewers,” said Kurt Gatringer, Managing Director at Yare Media. “We have full confidence in the Limelight CDN and the Limelight team. They’re always responsive, which is particularly important with all the live streams that we deliver for our customers across devices.”
Yare is using Limelight Video Delivery Services to ensure a reliable and consistent viewer playback experience for customers worldwide and to handle unpredictable traffic spikes and patterns during major events such as the Olympics.
“For more than eight years, we have worked closely with Yare to support their growth and changing online video delivery needs,” said Jonathan Smith, Group Vice President EMEA, Limelight. “Our local team has a deep understanding of Yare’s unique streaming requirements and the evolving media landscape. We enjoy helping them push the envelope to provide new services for customers.”
