Tata Communications (Tatacom), a provider of a new world of communications, has been appointed by IAHGames, a online game publisher and operator in Southeast Asia, to provide their Global Content Delivery Network (CDN) service in Asia.
Tatacom, which launched its next-generation CDN globally last week, will deliver a range of online games, including Granado Espada and an upcoming title EA SPORTS FIFA Online 2. It will provide immediate access to content, including High-Definition Video. With more than 300 points of presence worldwide, Tatacom claimed its CDN service enables large gaming files to download six times faster than conventional networks.
Yeo Yeok Chuan, vice president of marketing & strategy for IAHGames, said, "Partnering with Tata Communications and utilizing their global CDN allows IAHGames to provide a faster and more efficient way to deliver digital content to our APAC customers. We look forward to working with Tata Communications to bring high quality gaming services to gamers based throughout Asia."
According to Yeo, the global gaming market has grown tremendously over the last 20 years, now earning more revenue worldwide than the Hollywood movie industry. Southeast Asia's gaming market in particular has shown enormous growth over the last few years, and will continue to do so as online and gamer penetration expands.
"The launch of Tata Communications' CDN service offers a faster and better way for customers to deliver digital content on the Internet," said Genius Wong, Tata Communications' senior vice president of Global IP and VPN services. "Supporting IAHGames to deliver its suite of game contents to the APAC gaming community reduces the need for expensive infrastructure build-outs by the gaming industry and extends content delivery worldwide instantly."
CDN services enable the gaming community to easily outsource distribution of games, video, downloads, and multimedia applications over the internet. Tatacom's Global CDN service combines Tier-1 Global IP backbone and next-generation CDN technology to deliver high download throughput on large game applications, content, video clips and also support Live Broadcast HD video feed.
