LONDON, April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Level 3
Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) is enabling global managed
hosting provider, i3D.net, to enhance the experience of customers
worldwide and expand its business into Latin America by connecting to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Netherlands-based i3D.net is
renowned for its expertise in game-hosting. Almost all of the
enterprise-level game publishers work with i3D.net due to its
expertise in scalability, mass deployment and ultra-low latency.
More than one million people per day play games on i3D.net's 10,000
servers, located at 16 datacenter locations worldwide. The company
is focused on delivering the best online experience for gamers
wherever they are located, and meeting the growing demand by
publishers for game hosting in new markets, including Latin America.
Level 3 is supporting i3D.net in meeting both challenges. By
providing High-Speed IP (HSIP) connectivity services to the
company, game publishers and their end-users can benefit from
enhanced online performance. The company's expansion drive into
Latin America is supported by the
addition of Level 3 datacenter point-of-presence (PoP) connectivity
in Sao Paulo, enabling i3D.net's
customers in the region to access locally-delivered content.
Stijn Koster, CEO, i3D.net
explained: "By leveraging Level 3's HSIP services, we can provide
our customers with the benefits of locally-delivered services,
including reduced latency and increased stability, reliability and
performance. Adding connectivity to Level 3's PoP in Sao Paulo means we can continue our expansion
drive and deliver our services to customers in Latin America too."
"As a company, we are dedicated to supporting businesses to meet
their objectives around growth, efficiency and security," said
Andrew Crouch, Regional President,
EMEA and GAM Division, Level 3. "i3D.net is a clear example of how
Level 3 customers can benefit from one of the fastest and most
connected global IP networks in the world and expand beyond
Europe into new markets
worldwide."
