PHOENIX, Nov. 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:LLNW, news, filings), a leader in digital presence management, today announced that OwnZones Media Network, an innovative digital content marketplace at www.OwnZones.com, has deployed Limelight’s online video platform (OVP) to seamlessly deliver its growing inventory of video content through the premium subscription site.
“As a provider of multimedia content ranging from online youth sports training videos to foreign language lessons and everything in between, OwnZones was seeking a solution that could easily deliver rich media content,” shared Dan Goman, founder and CEO, OwnZones Media Network. “We also need the capability to scale on-demand as our content requirements expand while the site moves from beta to a full launch and keeps growing. Limelight provides us with the flexibility, reach and scale to manage all of our digital assets across any device, at any time.”
Limelight’s OVP solution is a key component of Limelight’s Orchestrate Digital Presence Platform, a powerful suite of cloud-based services enabling companies to create and deliver a consistent content experience across web, tablet, mobile, social, and large screen channels. From videos to Tweets, Orchestrate empowers organizations to deliver their content efficiently, and tell their story effectively, every way and every where. It offers easy to use rich media integration that can enliven the sharing of any digital story, along with the ability to manage, tag, and search video content. For OwnZones, the Limelight powers videos without requiring proprietary APIs and optimizes content delivery across all user devices, including iOS, Windows, Mobile, and Android, giving users personalized content from a growing number of media partners.
“Limelight delivers an online video platform solution that is easy to implement, provided an open API language and cross-platform support combined with the scalability to meet our growing needs,” added Goman. “Plus the Limelight team drove our engagement from contact-to-implementation in only fourteen days, allowing us to meet the launch deadline for our beta site. Now we simply upload content from one publishing point, and Limelight handles the rest.”
OwnZones is a convenient online marketplace for discovering, accessing and managing paid subscriptions from niche and major media content providers across the web on a single site with a single bill. The site is populated with content and channels from a selection of media partners including NewsLook, Innovative Language, WheelsTV, PlaySportsTV, Worthy Publishing, TenduTV, YogaSessionsTV and more with new content partners being added regularly.
