Application hosting and infrastructure service provider i3D.net has chosen Equinix to support its worldwide gaming platform. In turn, the partners will accelerate global online gaming growth.
i3D.net provides a reliable, low-latency network with thousands of servers spread over six continents. The provider is headquartered in the Netherlands and was recently acquired by Ubisoft in 2019.
The rapidly growing hosting leader serves both Ubisoft customers and other industry-leading gaming publishers. It has designed its ONE Platform to better suit the unique scalability requirements of the gaming industry. Most of all, i3D.net is committed to providing the best user experience.
However, i3D has faced a boost in activity on its gaming platform. So, the provider decided to partner with Equinix to gain that same proximity to its users. The Platform Equinix has over 38 data centers across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. Thus, this integration will allow i3D.net to deliver latency-free connectivity, assuring a snug gameplay experience.
