Google Cloud results

Supports 4x more user capacity with no downtime

Melsoft needed to migrate from its VM environment to reap the benefits of Google Cloud’s stability as part of a hybrid cloud infrastructure and reduce game downtime, delivering a smoother, more reliable user experience for players. It now uses managed services including Cloud Storage and Compute Engine for developing mobile games, which helps developers work faster while improving the in-app experience. Managed storage and BigQuery eliminate the need for archiving by maintaining constant data availability, all while reducing costs by automatically moving older data to more cost-effective storage tiers.
“With Google Cloud managed storage and the automatic offload of data into more affordable storage tiers, we don’t have to worry about archiving data anymore. We can use Google BigQuery to immediately access all of our data across any time frame. This speeds up in-game response times and improves user experience.”
