Fast Growing Streaming Provider StreamSpot Selects Limelight Networks as Its Global Content Delivery Network, Scaling HD Streaming to One Million+ Viewers Each Month

StreamSpot, the first 100% automated live and on-demand streaming provider serving churches, synagogues, and live events, today announced the selection of Limelight Networks (News - Alert), a global leader in digital content delivery, as its content delivery network (CDN) for its customers around the world.

StreamSpot will migrate customers to Limelight's global delivery infrastructure from its self-built CDN, which has grown to serve more than one million viewers around the world each month. Limelight's vast network of servers will provide instant benefits to StreamSpot's broadcasters, through seamless HD live-video delivery to viewers from the nearest point-of-presence (POP). StreamSpot expects the migration to Limelight to be unobtrusive to customers and viewers alike, and plans to complete the transition by June 1, 2016.

StreamSpot, the industry's first 100% automated streaming provider, allows for simple setup and a flawless streaming experience for customers and their online viewers. The automation gives StreamSpot customers, whether houses of worship, schools or live event organizers, the ability to affordably broadcast to Internet-connected viewers anywhere, without requiring additional onsite personnel.

"StreamSpot now serves customers and viewers around the globe and we are excited to partner with a global leader in digital content delivery," said Taron Foxworth, Director of Technology of StreamSpot. "More than a million viewers turn to StreamSpot every month. As that number climbs, Limelight's stellar reputation and steadfast reliability will facilitate the best possible streaming experience."

"StreamSpot conducted an extensiv selection process to ensure they found the right technology partner to support their massive growth," said George Vonderhaar, chief sales officer, at Limelight. "Having outgrown their internal CDN they needed a global solution to scale with the growth of their viewer audience and expanding global reach. We are very pleased to have been selected to collaborate with Taron and his team to improve the delivery of Streamspot's content worldwide."
