TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Edgio, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGIO), the platform of choice to power unmatched speed, security and simplicity at the edge, announced today the completion of its most successful week of enabling the evolution of television from set-top boxes to streaming, culminating in a record-setting day of traffic to support a major sporting event last Thursday night.
"This past week highlights the value that Edgio brings to the streaming industry," said Bob Lyons, Edgio CEO. "After many months of planning and preparing with our client, we saw 160% increase on Thursday from the prior day peak traffic, which was the highest we have ever delivered during a live event. Not only were we able to support the massive traffic peaks, but it was done all with the quality you would expect from what third-party benchmark firm, Perfops, currently ranks as the #1 most performant CDN in the world."
Earlier this quarter, Nielsen highlighted streaming viewership surpassed cable for the first time.
