Case Study: Game studio Imperia Online achieves 100% uptime and 3x faster page loads with StorPool

Imperia Online - Customer Case Study

Imperia Online, a major European game developer with 40+ million users and 20+ released titles, faced strict requirements for low latency, continuous availability and data protection to keep players engaged. After using DAS and various hardware SANs with mixed HDD/SSD, the team selected StorPool’s software-defined storage solution (pure SSD cluster, x3 replication, OpenNebula/KVM) to replace their in-house setup and meet demanding performance and uptime goals.

StorPool migrated Imperia Online’s databases to a high‑IOPS, fully replicated SSD cluster, enabling live VM migration and strong fault tolerance. The deployment cut page load times from roughly 200–300 ms to 75–100 ms (making them up to ~4x faster than before), delivered 100% reliability with no hardware-related downtime, and provided scalable, easy-to-deploy storage — measurable improvements attributed to StorPool.
