ATLANTA, July 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Internap
Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of high-performance Internet
infrastructure including Colocation, Network and Managed Services,
and Cloud Services, and Perfect World, a leading North American
online games publisher, specializing in immersive free-to-play
massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG), today
announced a multi-year renewal agreement for colocation and IP
services at INAP's Boston data
center.
Due to the predictable demand by end-users, INAP's high-power
density colocation footprint in Boston will continue to be utilized for the
development and hosting of Perfect World's online games. In
addition to INAP colocation, Perfect World utilizes INAP's
bare-metal AgileSERVER to scale their infrastructure based on
month-to-month demand for their hero shooter, Gigantic. INAP's
Performance IP will continue to be utilized across Perfect World's
infrastructure to provide low latency – a top priority for a gaming
company. INAP's products and services, as purchased by Perfect
World, demonstrate how a bundled infrastructure can be utilized to
serve various clients' needs – in this case, to serve different
games to their audiences and flex their infrastructure based on
demand.
Overall, Perfect World chose INAP due to the top-quality service
they receive at a competitive price. In fact, during their long
partnership with INAP, Perfect World has not experienced downtime
in 5+ years. Additionally, Performance IP provides them with less
than 80 milliseconds of latency without needing a presence in all
the markets their users are located.
"We are pleased to continue our partnership with Perfect World,"
said Corey Needles, INAP COLO's SVP
and General Manager. "Companies in the gaming sector recognize
INAP's high-performance data center services can provide them with
the flexibility, availability and low latency required to ensure
the best gamer experience."
"INAP's high-quality service helps us to provide excellent
gameplay experiences to our customers," said Zheng Zeng, Perfect World Entertainment's
Director of Network Operations. "We were able to build out and keep
expanding our highly available and scalable gaming backend
infrastructure based on INAP's reliable IP, colocation and
bare-metal services."
