Gigaspaces and Yazino Breed the Next Generation of Social Gaming
Gigaspaces, provider of a new generation of application platforms for Java and .Net environments, provides Yazino, a multiplayer online casino, an application infrastructure to carry out the first cloud-based, social casino platform through Gigaspaces’ eXtreme Application Platform (XAP). The hybrid infrastructure can scale demand while keeping it low-cost but easy to market.
“As a social gaming online casino, we knew from the beginning that scalability was critical to our success,” says Hussein Chahine, Yazino’s Founder and CEO. “With XAP, we have the flexibility to meet constantly changing business volumes, with linear, real-time dynamic scalability using a cloud-data center hybrid model.”
Yazino has devised a game that integrates social interaction in multiplayer functionality which spans the gap between traditional online gambling and social gaming sites. Yazino has enrolled over 500,000 players with a rate of 10,000 new players on a daily basis.
XAP delivers a enterprise-grade, end-to-end application scalability platform which can conduct intense volume loads in real-time. It is governed by SLAs and is speedy, because the platform runs in memory. It pledges performance amidst peak demand while shooting up hardware utilization by up to 5 times. Without even a single code changed, developers can construct, implement and operate their infrastructure in any environment.
“Yazino benefits from our long experience with cloud development,” says Adi Paz, GigaSpaces Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “With XAP as the underlying infrastructure, our clients like Yazino can focus on the business logic and speed time to market without concern for where the application will actually run.”
Yazino’s massively multiplayer/multi-game online casino platform is optimized even with several hundred thousand interactive players all together in real time because of XAP.
GigaSpaces is making its mark on another industry that requires millisecond latency, dynamic scalability, and high availability – online gaming. One of Gigaspaces more recent developments is its partnership with Citrix to offer an open and elastic cloud-enable form.
