Dear Delve Customers,

Today is the start of a new phase for the team at Delve Networks.  We have been acquired by Limelight Networks (read press release).  Our entire team, including myself, will be joining Limelight Networks where we will become the Video Platform Solutions business unit.

Last Thursday, Limelight’s CEO, Jeff Lunsford, flew up to our Seattle headquarters (see flight videos) to celebrate with members of the Delve team (see photo below); it was a fantastic experience and we are all fired up. Limelight’s team culture, vision, and philosophy are very similar to our own and we feel this is a great fit. They value customer relationships first, think at ‘Internet scale,’ and do a great job of making the very complex seem easy.

Even though we are now part of Limelight, all of the things that matter to you will stay the same. We’ll still deliver a powerful, yet easy to use, online video platform with content management, analytics, monetization, player customization, and rich APIs. We’ll continue to provide the same level of support we’ve always delivered. And we’ll still work with CDN partners beyond Limelight Networks for content delivery in keeping with our belief that open ecosystems are important.

What’s new is that we’ll now have access to more resources. As Delve, we built an award wining product and signed up over 120+ customers, such as, Cleveland Clinic, American Hospital Association, ESPN, CDW, Standard & Poor’s, Hallmark, Lego, World Vision, and several professional sports organizations (see customer showcase). We’ve manage to grow our business with far less resources than many of our competitors, which is a testament to our team’s talent, commitment and determination.

Now that we’re joining Limelight we can accelerate our growth, better service larger customers, and enjoy the benefits of Limelight’s global sales organization. Limelight has an unparalleled presence around the world and the capacity to transport huge amounts of content over its intelligent delivery platform. Adding Limelight’s global infrastructure to Delve’s video platform offering increases our ability to scale and innovate for our customers.

To all of our customers, employees, investors, and partners, thank you for helping us succeed in an industry that has grown rapidly in recent years. We’re very excited about the opportunities for innovation ahead, and look forward to doing great things as part of Limelight Networks.

Onwards and Upwards!!

Sincerely,
Alexander Castro
Vice President & General Manager, Video Platform Solutions
