Verizon Digital Media CDN (VDMS) is Verizon's enterprise-grade CDN acceleration brand, its technology core originating from EdgeCast, which Verizon acquired in 2013. In 2022 Verizon sold the media business to Limelight Networks, renamed Edgio. VDMS history represents a typical telecom operator's journey into CDN.
Limelight Networks, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, is a global CDN provider specializing in content delivery and streaming acceleration, renowned for its Orchestrator software-defined CDN platform. In 2022 it merged with Verizon's media business to form Edgio.
