Case Study: G-Core Labs achieves low-latency, scalable gaming connectivity with Megaport

G-Core Labs saves 82% on connectivity with Megaport

G-Core Labs, a Luxembourg-based global IT solutions provider, faced challenges in scaling its mission-critical infrastructure for the high-performance demands of massive real-time data traffic from online gaming. The company needed to ensure robust network performance with minimal latency for its client Wargaming's 'World of Tanks', improve cost efficiency amidst fluctuating traffic, and gain more flexibility than traditional providers offered. To address this, they turned to the elastic interconnection services from Megaport.

Megaport solved these challenges by providing G-Core Labs with on-demand, scalable connectivity between key Points of Presence in Asia Pacific. The solution involved peering on Megaport’s Internet Exchange in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Sydney, and establishing data centre connectivity between Hong Kong and Singapore. This created direct routes for data traffic, minimizing round trip time and packet loss. The results included an 82% savings on bandwidth costs in a specific scenario and improved network resiliency, allowing G-Core Labs to right-size its connectivity in real-time.
