October 25, 2011 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) –
Virtual Internet, a leading provider of high availability hosting solutions for mission critical websites and applications, announces today that innovative gaming company,
Bossa Studios, chose Virtual Internet for Content Delivery Network (CDN) for the launch of its new social game, Monstermind.
Bossa Studios has been branded a ‘stealth-studio’ by some sectors of the industry press, keen to get the low-down on what the ‘Bossians’ have been working on, and now they will get to see exactly what the team has been up to with the launch of their social game Monstermind. The successful release of Monstermind is down to a team that comprises members previously of such studios as Blitz Games, Playfish, Endemol, and Jagex to name but a few.
Henrique Olifers, Gamer-in-Chief at Bossa is excited with the game's successful release and the future prospects of expansion: “Social games are a massive phenomenon, undeterred by geography or borders. As such, we need to make our game and its assets available around the globe, with the best possible performance, something we could only achieve with the help of CDN technology. Virtual Internet has been a key partner to meet this objective thanks to their competitive pricing and sound platform.”
Bossa Studios selected Virtual Internet to deliver industry-leading content delivery network backed by Virtual Internet’s VI-tal support. CDN provides caching and downloading services and with recent POP additions in the Middle East and the Far East, and POP’s in South America arriving this year, VI’s network is the number one choice for global content delivery, something that Patrick McCarthy, Managing Director of Virtual Internet is keen to share:
“Our strategic partnership with one of the world’s most advanced Internet infrastructure companies, combined with our well-recognised customer support services, means we can provide an enhanced CDN service which delivers high-performance and efficiency. For customers like Bossa Studios, their business model depends on the speedy delivery of content to their users, and VI’s CDN solution will support Bossa Studios in going global with their innovative games.”
Patrick continues, “The gaming industry and CDN go hand in hand as CDN has the capability to distribute workloads and deliver the performance required for social gaming. We’re delighted to have the opportunity to work with Bossa Studios, a company that is redefining social gaming, and look forward to a successful working relationship long into the future.”
Bossa Studios’ new game is in the final stages of testing and is currently in open beta before formally launching later on in the year. The game is currently available on Facebook and will be available on iPhone, iPad, and Android soon.
