Nitrado improves network quality even further

Transformation

A cross-section of services for reliable, secure gaming

We were selected as the partner of choice for our ability to aid with Nitrado’s business expansion strategies and provide several services that aligned with their goals. The partnership leverages a cross-section of products across the range offered by us via our Global IP Network, helping the client benefit from a robust, joined-up service.

After first linking up Nitrado to a location in Frankfurt with a single IP transit port, the relationship has expanded rapidly on the global scale, with connections added in the couple of years since in London, Los Angeles, New York and Miami, followed by Singapore and Sydney, and upgrades carried out in most places to 100G. The next location is planned in Tokyo.

Nitrado uses our VLink product, a virtual transport service that merges the flexibility and scalability of Layer 3 technology with the dynamic traffic paths and management capabilities of Layer 2. This helps increase the capacity that Nitrado has available.

We have meanwhile, delivered a mesh solution connecting Nitrado’s three locations in the US as well as Sydney. This further improves latency and provides a better experience for seamless gameplay, helping underpin Nitrado’s status as a high-quality hosting company.

In addition, Nitrado has adopted our DPS Control product to complement their own SteelShield DDoS protection service by offering an extra layer of support on top. Via this, the game server company provides access control lists (ACLs) to block the network from certain types of traffic.

Last, but certainly not least, by partnering with us, Nitrado gains access to an experienced Network Security Team
