🎉As of today, i3D.net is the most interconnected network in the world based on IPv4 Adjacencies. For the past 20+ years we have had a strong focus on supporting game studios, voice & video platforms and other applications in creating the best end-user experience possible, and it shows with 800 million monthly active users across our platforms playing games, talking to friends and family online or collaborating with their colleagues through remote working applications. For those unfamiliar with networking: compare it to an airline carrier with a lot of direct flight partnerships with other airlines – making sure you get to your destination faster with fewer layovers, fewer possible delays and passport controls. We do just that but then for data packets, resulting in lower latency ⏱️, and fewer points of failure making the internet experience smoother for end-users just like you’d enjoy a faster, direct flight. While the number of adjacencies fluctuate, we’ve held the second most connected spot for a few years – yet taking the number one spot really is a tribute to our focus on end-user experience. 👉 What’s next? Strengthening our network even further, we won’t sit still before everyone on this planet can connect with their friends and families online with the best experience possible. 👉 See our ranking here: https://lnkd.in/etM-cmCr #lowlatency #RTC #gamehosting

Exactly a month has passed since the release of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 – and it has been a challenging month for the team responsible for operations and online functionality. Millions of players, hundreds of thousands of multiplayer game sessions – you can only imagine the enormous load that has been placed on our online services. To support multiplayer, Saber uses its own developed platform, Hydra, which integrates many essential game services: matchmaking, cross-play features, server hosting infrastructure, a saving system, and both text and voice chats. The Hydra platform is used in all Saber games, but the launch of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 has been the most extensive and global challenge for the entire backend team, allowing us to support a stable online environment with over 225k CCU (on Steam alone!). We are very grateful to our partners who support us with a base for our game server infrastructure: G-Core, i3d.net, Google. Also, we would like to thanks Multiplay, who took a part of the game server load on their infrastructure. Thanks to your support, millions of players continue to play together! We usually rarely talk about our game infrastructure and the internal services and developments we use in game creation or operation. I believe this is a big oversight that we definitely need to fix.

Cut game hosting costs and reduce latency with hybrid hosting! Hybrid game hosting with i3D.net gives you the flexibility and efficiency to make it happen.
