Case Study: OKWAVE achieves secure, scalable high-performance content delivery to 31 million users and 50% cost savings with Limelight Networks' Orchestrate Platform

OKWAVE relies on Limelight to deliver secure content to more than 30 million users worldwide

OKWAVE, Japan’s first and largest online Q&A platform with 31 million users and a database of over 35 million entries, needed to scale content delivery to keep pages responsive across many device types while keeping delivery stable and costs under control amid rapid growth.

After evaluating multiple CDNs, OKWAVE selected Limelight’s Orchestrate Platform to handle larger files and multi‑device delivery. The deployment delivered global scalability, consistent performance, built‑in DDoS protection, faster content propagation, easier capacity forecasting and a roughly 50% reduction in operating expenses.
