Case Study: JumpStart Games keeps educational gaming platforms running smoothly with Microsoft Operations Management Suite

JumpStart’s educated approach to operations management

JumpStart Games, Inc., an educational gaming company, faced the challenge of maintaining server stability and performance for its hybrid cloud environment. Instability or latency could cause children, their primary users, to disengage from the educational games. To proactively identify and resolve issues, they turned to vendor Microsoft Corporation and implemented Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS).

The solution from Microsoft provided a cloud-agnostic monitoring platform that worked across both Azure and AWS, supporting their diverse Linux and .NET stacks. Using OMS for automation and PowerShell scripting, JumpStart could quickly remediate problems like rebooting servers or restarting applications. This ensured a seamless, low-latency gaming experience, allowing the company to confidently support demanding projects like its massive multiplayer online game without interruption for its young users.
