Limelight Networks announced that Limelight’s award-winning SmartPurge recently removed 1.1 billion cached objects totaling 612 terabytes of data across Limelight’s global network in 123 milliseconds, it’s fastest single purge to-date.

Outdated information is publicized, corrupted files are downloaded, compliance issues arise and brand integrity can be severely compromised. Limelight’s SmartPurge removes individual items or large volumes of content from anywhere in the world in milliseconds and provides instantaneous confirmation reports that content has been completely removed. Industry-leading features include:

  • Near Real-Time Speed: Purged objects are invalidated or deleted in under 2 seconds.
