Case Study: i3D.net achieves low-latency gaming in the Middle East with DE-CIX

i3D.net reduces latency by up to 80% with DE-CIX

i3D.net, a leading hosting platform for the gaming industry, faced the challenge of high latency for online gamers in the Middle East. Data had to be routed through Internet Exchanges in Europe, resulting in a poor player experience. They partnered with DE-CIX, the operator of the UAE-IX Internet Exchange, to find a local solution.

By using DE-CIX's GlobePEER service at its local Point of Presence in Dubai, i3D.net achieved a massive 80% reduction in latency. This solution enabled i3D.net to reach over 80% of end users in the Middle East with local network connections. The success fostered a growing gaming ecosystem in the region, with more game providers using the i3D.net network and players receiving locally hosted games upon release.
