Case Study: Unity speeds large file transfers and streamlines Git and Perforce management with Assembla

Unity speeds file transfers 3x with Assembla

Unity, a leading gaming engine developer, faced challenges with their "Made with Unity" team’s need to rapidly transfer large files and manage multiple version control systems like Git and Perforce. Their distributed team was experiencing lag and a "DIY file transfer nightmare" with previous solutions, hindering their fast-paced operations. They turned to vendor Assembla for a fully managed cloud hosting solution, specifically seeking support for Perforce Helix Core.

Assembla implemented a scalable, fast solution leveraging AWS infrastructure, providing Unity with a central, fully managed platform for both Perforce and Git repositories. This eliminated internal management burdens and accelerated file transfer speeds. The results included file transfers up to three times faster than their on-premise solution, freeing internal resources and allowing the team to scale efficiently. According to Unity’s founder, Assembla became a trusted partner and extension of their team.
