Online Gaming
Gaming companies are focused on HD online multiplayer video games, digitally distributed titles and connected devices, while gaming fans want to try, buy, play and consume content anytime, anywhere – including inside the games themselves.
DATA TRANSFER SPEED HAS ALWAYS BEEN CRITICAL IN ONLINE GAMING
A substantial lag could ruin the game experience, leading to players leaving the game and even canceling their subscription.
Nowadays, the growing replacement of physical support with online transfer of game files is also a concern. And yet another factor is the mass demand for games as a spectator sport: be it by streamers or via international tournaments.
In this scenario, you require solutions that can adapt to variable needs: traffic peaks on release days, intercontinental connections among gamers or protection from data theft.
