Servecentric Hosts New European Online Platform.
2006-04-25, HostMan.biz Servecentric today announced the launch of a new online hosting infrastructure for PopCap Games International at its headquarters in Dublin. Servecentric will host and support the entire online gaming platform for PopCap's International markets. PopCap is the leading provider of casual games in the world*. With headquarters in Seattle, its website attracts over six million unique visitors each month and its games have been downloaded more than 175 million times. PopCap games such as Bejeweled 2 and Zuma can be played instantly in users' web browsers, with deluxe versions available for download. PopCap recently announced the opening of a development and support centre for its International operations and European business in the Digital Hub, Dublin. A factor in its choice of location was the close proximity of a world-class collocation facility. Servecentric met all of PopCap's exacting criteria, including meeting the highest levels of on-demand bandwidth availability, resilience, and having a proven collocation track record. This is PopCap's first data centre deployment outside of the United States and is an integral part of a multi-million dollar expansion into international markets. By moving into Europe and taking advantage of Servecentric's multi-carrier connectivity partnerships with leading ISPs and telecoms providers, PopCap is able to provide even faster download times to European users and expects to grow its business significantly in the region. Paul Breslin, IT Director, PopCap Games International, said, "We wanted a data centre partner that could provide the highest quality technical infrastructure, project management, and scaleable bandwidth to allow us to concentrate on developing new and exciting games for our growing international customer base. Crucially for us, Servecentric could underpin its guarantees with clearly defined and measurable service level agreements." Jason O'Conaill, sales and marketing director, Servecentric, said, "We are delighted to welcome the world's leading developer and publisher of casual games. This is one of the fastest growing sectors in interactive entertainment and we anticipate that up to one million people per month will play games on PopCap's new European online platform hosted in our data centre. Our ability to guarantee optimal levels of bandwidth and 24/7 uptime were crucial in winning this international hosting contract." *Casual games are platform-agnostic online games that are easy-to-learn and hard-to-master puzzle, word and classic arcade-style games. They appeal to all ages and both genders and are now played by more than 100 million people each month. |
