Equinix announced that NHN Entertainment Singapore, a leading mobile gaming platform, has deployed in Equinix's Singapore International Business Exchange (IBX) data center.
The deployment will enable NHN Entertainment Singapore to expand the availability of its gaming services in Southeast Asia and deliver optimized performance to its users.
Headquartered in South Korea, NHN Entertainment Singapore provides a platform for mobile game developers to build and distribute games, through which it also regularly launches games for its end users.
To expand the availability of its gaming services in Southeast Asia, NHN Entertainment Singapore required a data center provider that offers a strong point-of-presence in Singapore.
Research from Ovum shows that the Asia-Pacific digital games market will more than double over the next four years to be worth $30.3 billion in 2016. Ovum also estimates that Asia-Pacific will have more than one billion gamers by 2016, of which nearly 900 million will play games on a mobile device.
To cater to the increasing demand for mobile games, NHN Entertainment Singapore is leveraging Equinix's Singapore data center to access the broadest choice of network providers in the region, with over 950 carriers globally.
