Brings Next Generation Digital Distribution of Video Games to Europe and Launches First Partner Games Store in UK - VGChartz.com
TAMPA, Florida, December 9 - GameStreamer, Inc., a digital distribution network, announced it has
formally expanded its digital distribution services into Europe. Hosted in
Savvis' London data center, GameStreamer's European based white label game
stores will now deliver site content and download or stream video games much
faster to their European consumers. VGChartz.com, a top 20 videogame website,
is the first European customer to open the virtual doors of its downloadable
games store powered by GameStreamer's white label digital distribution
services.
In addition, GameStreamer has selected Neustar's UltraDNS Traffic
Controller service to multi-home and route traffic based on performance
between the three GameStreamer data centers.
"As one of the top videogame industry news sources and provider of unique
retail sales estimates it was important for VGChartz to partner with a
company that also has their pulse on games," said Brett Walton, CEO of
VGChartz Ltd. "GameStreamer provides us relevant content packaged in a store
design that's consistent with our brand, helping us generate revenue from our
existing traffic."
"The world's leading gaming platforms continue to grow in popularity,
achieving global scale through robust hosted service models that deliver
better performance at lower costs," said David Shacochis, VP of Research and
Development for Savvis. "Savvis is pleased to provide the hosting
infrastructure underpinning GameStreamer and we look forward to working with
them as they continue to grow as a leading digital distribution video game
provider globally."
Alex Berry, senior vice president of Internet & Registry Services at
Neustar, added, "GameStreamer is doing some very sophisticated networking
applications, and is bringing the highest level of performance and
availability to downloadable video games. We're pleased that they've
entrusted Neustar's UltraDNS Traffic Controller service to multi-home their
data centers based on performance routing."
"We are thrilled to help GameStreamer meet their growing business needs,"
said Jeff Drescher, vice president of Marketing, BakBone. "NetVault:
Replicator allows GameStreamer to focus on expanding their business and
providing seamless service to their customers without constantly managing
their replication processes across their enterprise class geographically
disbursed data centers."
"Video games are now the fastest growing segment of the entertainment
market surpassing US movie box office revenues in 2008. Consumers simply
enjoy playing video games so bringing games content to websites like VGChartz
can help them convert their traffic to revenue," commented Timothy Roberts,
co-founder and CEO of GameStreamer. "As high speed bandwidth connects more
consumers and more devices to the Internet, digital distribution of games
will continue to grow in demand. Our relationship with Savvis gives us the
Tier-1 network infrastructure we can depend on to enable our technology to
deliver the best user experience."
