CDNetworks Delivers Software Downloads for NCsoft's AionTM and Other Popular Online Games in USA and Europe
SAN JOSE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - CDNetworks, a top tier, full-service global content delivery network,
today announced that it has signed an agreement to deliver game clients
and software patch downloads for NCsoft's massively multiplayer online
role-playing games (MMORPG) across the United States and Europe. The
agreement covers all of NCsoft's online games, including wildly popular
titles such as Aion, Guild Wars, City of Heroes®,
as well as the Lineage series.
"CDNetworks has increased the speed and coverage of our game downloads
to our customers across the US and Europe," said Rob Cordero, director
of game operations at NCsoft. "Because of these performance
improvements, CDNetworks has enabled us to experience record traffic for
our online games in these regions."
In the online gaming world, the release of a game patch generates
activity by thousands, to hundreds-of-thousands of users - all at the
same time. This concurrent access can cause significant network
congestion that can adversely affect the user experience. CDNetworks'
tier 1 network architecture and optimized PoP deployment enables a large
number of users to download large files simultaneously, ensuring fast,
stable delivery and a positive user experience.
"The ability of our network to provide outstanding performance, even
during the most extreme traffic peaks, is a perfect fit for the
massively multiplayer online gaming market," said John Milburn,
president of CDNetworks International. "We are pleased to enable
NCsoft's customers to enjoy an online gaming experience that is second
to none."
