Case Study: Sunset Games achieves low-latency, 100% uptime and global scalability for real-time multiplayer gaming with Leaseweb

Sunset Games - Customer Case Study

Sunset Games is a young Israeli developer of action and RPG titles whose flagship, Tank Fighter, is a real-time, fully synchronous multiplayer game with over 100,000 players. The company needed very low latency, high bandwidth, rapid scalability and a global footprint (especially in Europe and Russia) so that real-time events and scoring remained fair and responsive for players.

To meet those needs Sunset Games deployed SmartFox real-time messaging on dedicated servers hosted by LeaseWeb, with top-of-rack switching for high-performance cross-server communication and data centers in the U.S. and Amsterdam. The setup delivered minimal ping times, virtually no lag complaints from the player base, sustained uptime and gave the team the bandwidth and stability to focus on improving the game.
