Nov 27, 2008 (10Meters.com via COMTEX) -- LLNW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Following its recent announcement that it had established a relationship with Limelight Networks to provide a faster, and more robust online storage offering, Mosso, Rackspace's Cloud Hosting Division, announced the release of Cloud Files enabled with Limelight Networks' content delivery service (CDN).

The companies stated that this union brings unlimited online storage, scalable content delivery, and application acceleration services, thereby allowing businesses to more easily and affordably distribute content to millions of end users.

Cloud Files, a scalable online storage service, as well as the relationship with Limelight, was announced last month at the Cloud Event as part of the new suite of Cloud Hosting offerings from Rackspace. In conjunction with Cloud Files, Limelight's robust and proven delivery service helps enable Mosso to quickly deliver files.

"Using Cloud Files for Action Method Online means that we don't ever have to worry about running out of space, or adding expensive hardware. We can allow our users to upload as many files as they like while managing their projects and scale seamlessly with amazing performance," said Chris Henry, Co-CTO, Behance. "And with a CDN leader like Limelight delivering our users' files, we believe we can count not only on reliability but also on the fastest download time out there."

Limelight Networks operates a dedicated optical network that interconnects thousands of servers. This network enables the company to deliver massive files at the speed of light directly into the access networks that consumers use every day. When an end user requests a file, Limelight's network pulls it from the closest Mosso server, caches the content within their geographically distributed network, and serves it up.

"Limelight Networks' global delivery platform provides Mosso with world-class performance, scalability, and efficiency, which can help them ensure that any object stored in the Cloud Files service will reliably and efficiently be delivered to their end-users," said Peter Coppola, vice president, product management, Limelight Networks. "This combination of cost effective, unlimited online storage with Limelight's worldwide distribution platform is truly innovative, and we are proud to work with Mosso and Rackspace to bring this exciting new service to market."

"The Mosso/Limelight relationship brings full-fledged, robust CDN capabilities and unlimited file storage to developers and corporate IT shops alike. We expect Mosso's new CDN capability to greatly enhance the quality of the end user experience by speeding the delivery of bandwidth-heavy rich content, including audio and video," said Emil Sayegh, general manager of Mosso. "For literally pennies per gigabyte of bandwidth and storage and no upfront commitments, the CDN advantage is no longer only available to the giants of the internet. Together with Limelight, we have just democratized content delivery."
