Overview:

Hi-Rez Studios is the creator of online, interactive fast-action combat games including SMITE and Tribes: Ascend.

Hi-Rez top priority was establishing an infrastructure that could accommodate varying traffic spikes and deliver a reliable online gaming experience with the lowest latency possible. Since adding Internaps bare-metal servers to its virtual cloud environment, Hi-Rez has successfully launched two MMO games worldwide, with a third in open beta, and scaled its server infrastructure seamlessly to handle traffic spikes and support traffic growth.In this presentation, Hi-Rez and Internap will provide insight into the business and technology considerations of architecting a scalable, reliable and low latency gaming infrastructure.
