Technical Details
Cloud Files Storage Technology
Cloud Files provides unlimited online storage for you. Easily upload, store and transfer files and digital media. And, in an industry first, you can deliver that content to your users at blazing speeds over Limelight Network's content delivery network (CDN).
Files up to 5 GB in size can be uploaded to Cloud Files in one of three ways: through our online control panel, via the Cloud Files API, or through software third parties are making for the desktop and mobile devices like the iPhone. 
Inside the Cloud Files datacenter, intelligent software makes multiple copies of your data on at least three different devices in two distinct zones of the datacenter. (Each datacenter zone uses separate power and network connections.) |
Cloud Files CDN Technology
The files you elect to be public are shared out over a content distribution network with locations all over the world. The first time your content is served to a worldwide user (one in Tokyo, for example), a copy of the content will be stored in cache on the edge servers in that location. 
The next time the content is requested, its pulled directly from the cached copy on the edge servers, dramatically reducing delivery time. In this way, the CDN technology integrated into Cloud Files gives your content world-wide presence. |

No programming required
Use the same, simple web interface you use to upload content to Cloud Files. Just right-click any container to make it publicly available across Limelight's CDN. A URL is then provided for use in your site or application. An open API is also available for programmatic control.Powered by Limelight's proven technology
In an industry first, we've partnered with Limelight Networks to create a complete storage-to-delivery solution. Since 2001, Limelight has made global content delivery possible for the likes of MSNBC, Microsoft's XBOX, and the Dallas Cowboys.-
Straight-forward pricing
Public CDN bandwidth is 22¢ per GB, no matter where your end users are. No extra request fees for content served from the CDN endpoints. No bandwidth charges from Cloud Files to the CDN endpoints (unlike Amazon).
