CDN, the Key to Game Industry Transformation

Online gaming is transforming dramatically towards mobile end, leading to huge business opportunities for game operators, while facing many issues such as a sudden increase of users, shortened product market cycle, high requirements for user experience, and high operating costs, making unprecedentedly higher requirements on product and technology. How to guarantee mobile game user experience? How to realize industry transformation? On April 2, 2015, Mr. Fu Liang, VP of ChinaCache, shared his view on how CDN can effectively support mobile game network operation in the Second China Game Operation Technology Innovation Conference held in Shanghai.

In recent years, there has seen a rapid growth in China's online game market, among which mobile game attracts much attention due to its explosive growth. According to Niko Partners, an independent research company, Chinese mobile game market reached RMB 18 billion in 2014, catching up with client-end games, showing an annual growth rate of 37.6% from 2013 to 2018. The mobile market in China is very likely to surpass the U.S. market in 2015.

Users of online games, especially those of mobile games, have higher demands on game system’s stability, loading speed and security performance. It’s shown in the Online Game User Experience Optimization Research Report released by ChinaCache that 45.9% of the users mentioned that they would abandon the game due to poor system stability of the game, while 41.7% of the users may stop the game because of slow loading speed of the game.

Returning Blue Sky back to Earth, ChinaCache Starts from Itself

Recently, environmental protection issue continues to be heated, resulting in hot discussions and reflections. Living in Beijing with pollution in 175 days per year, what can we do? Environmental governance depends on everyone. Now, more and more positive actions that environmentalists start from themselves have made more people realize that we can make a difference together. And these positive actions and calls will lead to a new round of legislative improvement and public policy adjustment, causing complete haze protection actions from citizen’s individual behavior to enterprise behavior.

At this moment, we should do something.

When the Public Environment Research Center (IPE), domestic green environmental advocate and an NGO, was heard to offer a "pollution map" app, ChinaCache immediately sent its professional team to visit this organization, hoping to make its contribution by solving IPE’s network technical problems during fog haze data collection. After further communication, it was learnt that the organization had limited technical personnel, with weak app operation and maintenance capacity. Especially after the broadcasting of “Under the Dome”, huge amounts of enthusiastic netizens have got to know and started to download the "pollution map”, making the APP facing serious network congestion instantly, worsening its originally weak network resources and technology. When knowing CDN technical support was needed urgently by IPE, ChinaCache immediately decided to provide the "pollution map" app with mobile terminal dedicated network acceleration service - MPlus. MPlus is a mobile Internet solution launched by ChinaCache in 2015, enabling mobile acceleration solution to efficiently improve its performance by integrating operators’ rear traffic resources and applying technical means to combine flow pool and mobile acceleration products, effectively solving big network technical challenges faced by IPE. At present, the service has been fully prepared to start.

It is known that the IPE is a research organization in public benefit environment. Since its establishment in June 2006, IPE has collected and released public environmental information from the government, developed and run Chinese pollution map database, promoting environmental information disclosure and public participation, calling for the people to protect the environment, looking for ultimate power to eliminate pollution, and improving environmental governance mechanism.

ChinaCache, an enterprise full of enterprise responsibility and social responsibility, has never stopped its contribution to the society. From actively participating in various domestic large-scale disaster relief activities, to "Angle Home" public welfare activities, to active support in haze management, ChinaCache believes that a little effort can converge into infinite strength, which let us see green future with beautiful homes, healthy growth of the next generation, and sustainable development of ecological environment.

Return blue sky to the earth, and start from ChinaCache itself.
