Case Study: Wargaming achieves rapid predictive analytics and superior gaming experiences for 110M players with Oracle Big Data Appliance

Wargaming Creates Complex Analytical Models in Minutes Instead of Hours to Ensure Superior Gaming Experiences for More Than 110-Million Players

Wargaming, the developer and publisher behind World of Tanks with more than 110 million players, needed a scalable, flexible data platform to turn massive telemetry into actionable business intelligence. The company’s challenge was to process growing volumes of game and social‑media data without bottlenecks or downtime, and to expand insight into game, market, and business health so designers could improve player experience.

Wargaming deployed Oracle Big Data Appliance, Oracle Database Appliance, Oracle Advanced Analytics and Big Data Connectors to capture and analyze over 40 TB of game‑related data. The new environment cut a complex predictive model runtime from more than six hours to three minutes, enabled heat‑map analysis that quickly identified and fixed tutorial and map‑balance issues, and combined gameplay and social‑media sentiment to improve retention, monetization and overall player experience—while accelerating ROI and leveraging existing Oracle expertise.
