Case Study: NonLinear Educating achieves scalable, world-class video delivery with Limelight Networks

Pioneering Online Education with Digital Distribution

NonLinear Educating, founded by Martin Sitter and known for macProVideo.com and AskVideo.com, set out in 2005 to pioneer video-based online education. As consumer streaming matured, the company faced the challenge of moving from DVD distribution to a global, high‑availability video platform that could store a massive library, deliver multi‑format streams to many devices, reduce capital expenditures, and provide a seamless, easy-to-use front end for self-paced learners.

NonLinear chose Limelight’s Orchestrate Video, Content Delivery and Cloud Storage services to provide optimized streaming, replicated on‑network storage, multi‑device formats and dedicated support. The partnership enabled scalable, cost‑effective delivery—helping the company grow into a top‑5 educational publisher with 32,000 tutorials, 1,800 hours of training and 750+ courses—and positioned it to launch a large plug‑and‑play deployment platform for universities.
