Content is the New Perimeter

Controlling access to digital assets has always been an issue for some organizations, but an increasing amount of regulation and controls have now made this a problem for a much wider range of companies. In addition, evolving business needs and technology advances have changed the traditional boundaries of the organization, making it more difficult for the IT department to manage access to digital assets. Historically, the firewall was regarded as the perimeter of the organization. Employees were predominantly office-based, working on shared drives or PCs, with all data remaining within the company. Any interactions with external parties were conducted by either emailing the relevant data to the external party or allowing limited access to the required data within the application that generated it.

The Critical Need for Enterprise-Grade File Sync and Share Solutions

Consumer-focused file sync and share (CFSS) solutions have become one of the most popular categories of applications used in the workplace over the past few years. Led by Dropbox – as well as various freemium and paid offerings from companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple and at least 80 other vendors – these tools allow users automatically to synchronize their files across all of their desktop, laptop, smartphone and tablet platforms. Users implement these tools for a variety of good reasons: to have access to all of their files when working after hours or while traveling, in support of formal or informal telework programs, or to share large files more efficiently or when the corporate email system will not support sharing of files over a certain size

Limelight Orchestrate for Media & Broadcast

Every broadcaster and media content owner struggles with how to simplify and reduce costs of media publishing workflow. Instantaneously delivering high quality video worldwide to every screen has led to needlessly complex systems. Too often, multiple third party tools are required to encode, publish, and deliver high performing content, as well as integrate ads, gather analytics, and ensure content security—all of which can impact how quickly you can deliver high quality content to your viewers, who expect a seamless experience on every screen.

Nintendo’s Limelight Solution

Families and children around the world love Nintendo. They are fans of the state-of-the-art game consoles such as the new Wii U and they enjoy the variety of exciting game classics from Mario Bros. to Princess Zelda. And, thanks to the educational value of the content, Nintendo captures the hearts of audiences both young and old.

So what is Nintendo’s secret sauce? They understand what it means to create meaningful connections with fans by managing their digital content across devices and by leveraging the power of video. Nintendo provides authentic and homogenous high performance gaming and entertainment experiences to fans on their game consoles and on their branded websites.

Building a Better Game Experience

As the video game market has grown, it has become increasingly competitive. Traditional console and PC games are now competing against smartphone and tablet titles as the mobile segment explodes in popularity. But gamers have limited time playing, on average, only 1-2 hours per day. In order to capture mindshare, and a share of the $100 billion gaming wallet, game developers and studios must expand their titles to become more of an experience. Although they must provide a top quality storyline with easy-to-use controls, they must also extend that game experience into new channels and new platforms if they hope to remain top-of-mind with gamers.

The State of Digital Downloads

The way we interact with the world is transforming, thanks to the devices we use every day—tablets, smartphones, computers, and gaming consoles. No longer do we look to analog sources of information and entertainment. We are increasingly beholden to a blossoming digital world through which we acquire information, express ourselves, and interact with each other. The result is a growing relationship with those devices. From sun-up to sundown, they keep us connected to the digital content and applications that have begun to define our lives.
