The Level 3® Origin Storage solution is a scalable, redundant, secure part of a complete content storage service when combined with our Caching and Download or Streaming services. Level 3 offers:

Origin Offload: Upload content (via push or pull) to storage within the Level 3 CDN, which then feeds the edge delivery network without overloading customer infrastructure. This option is particularly useful for customers with a set of popular content and an interest in outsourcing their origin infrastructure.

Level 3® Content Delivery for Extended Libraries: Designed specifically for customers with large libraries of both high- and low-demand content. These long-tail libraries require a dynamic storage and content delivery solution to store and deliver content to end users in a cost-effective manner.

Service Features

Designed for Security and Fault-Tolerance: We provide you with redundant storage by combining mirroring, RAID, and geographic diversity with the latest firewall technology, and back our service with a 100 percent SLA on your stored content.

Massively Scalable and Affordable: We've deployed over 300TB of storage and planning for 1.2PB by the end of 2008.

And Level 3 customers only pay for what they use.

Flexible Asset Management: Standard methods of asset management including Secure FTP, r-sync, SOAP, and REST.

Origin Offload with Global Coverage: Our Origin Storage super nodes are strategically positioned around the world with direct and redundant connections to the Level 3 Content Delivery Network. By combining multiple, geographically diverse locations with redundant 10 GigE connectivity to our industry leading CDN, costly "hops" around the network are minimized.
