Friends of the system of online gaming industry cloud business

The cloud perspective of the friend system

"Cloud computing is not what it is now, it's just a long time ago called a massively distributed system, and then slowly evolving, evolving and stretching to the present." "Friend System CEO Yao Hongyu said.

Friends of the company's main business direction is to develop cloud computing operating system and application software, to provide the market with independent intellectual property rights of the cloud based software products and industry solutions. Yao Hongyu Special emphasis on the importance of experience to the business, because cloud computing and other software has a huge difference, that is, it is economies of scale: massive data, a lot of equipment. "The number of machines per order of magnitude, the problems encountered will be different." You have to solve it again, wait for another order of magnitude, and solve it again. These are all from the practice of tumbling over. Our core team has turned over the somersault. These are not available to Chinese software companies. Not that there is no ability, but to do the same thing, have not experienced, the somersault still have to turn, some time costs are not digested. Yao Hongyu said, "So we are few, but we do it fast." ”

Friends of the system of online games cloud business

At present, friends of the system can provide the online gaming industry cloud computing business, focusing on the basic systems and industry solutions.

A feature of the internet gaming industry is that the game released a few months before the flow is relatively large, but soon there will be a loss of players, another feature is more online gamers at night, easy to appear network congestion. If the game company to buy the server at peak time, when the player began to churn, the previous acquisition of the server will cause a huge waste, and lead to cost increases; If you follow the game after the server configuration, the game is not good, peak will end early, this is not the game developers are happy to see. In addition, game companies often have low-level maintenance technology problems. This is because in the software aspect, the general game developer chooses the relational database. But the relational database is mainly aimed at transaction processing optimization, and the performance of high throughput data support is limited, which can not meet the performance and delay requirement of Internet application layer. These problems can be greatly improved if you are developing and operating under the cloud platform of your friend's system.

Typical cases

Friends of the system for the Houle three countries to do this kind of game solution. Houle the three countries on the line only one weeks, day active users (DAU) quickly rise to 400,000 people, leading to the background system pressure surge, has been approaching the limits of the system. Through the friend system to provide cloud storage platform support and optimization of the game background, now the game's active users reached 6 million, the monthly active number of more than 50 million.

Competitors in the online gaming industry

Along with cloud computing's fiery, the blue flood Communication's a gang of young fellow also cannot sit still, requests to carry on the cloud business, the game cloud platform then establishes. "It is expected that the cloud business of the blue-flood communication will rise by one times this year." "Blue Flood communications vice President Huo said. In response to the above problems of the online games industry, the blue communication began to provide server rental virtual services, like Amazon (Micro-BO) launched the EC2, the customer one-time investment reduction, can be rented at any time according to the actual needs of the server, Blue Flood communication provides all-weather professional operation and maintenance services.

"In fact, our CDN business has always been related to the cloud, using distributed technology." "Blue Flood communications vice President Huo said. CDN is a kind of network architecture which can solve the network congestion and improve the response speed of users to visit the website.

As the blue Flood communication CDN Customer's demand for IDC (data Center) hosting business increased, the blue flood traffic naturally made cloud business, compared with the traditional IDC, the cloud service provided by the Blue flood communication was more flexible and efficient. The most obvious example is that when a business needs a server, it can quickly get the services it needs, about one or two hours to resolve. And in the traditional way through IDC to apply for a server, from the application to the equipment in place need a two.

PostScript: Although the outlook for cloud computing is promising, two companies have their own concerns. The Blues are worried about market uncertainty and excessive competition. For the You You system, "the biggest challenge is finding the right people." Our company is small, must run faster, needs the top talent. But startups pay better than big companies. Yao Hongyu regrets, "Finally we can only use the company's development prospects and individuals in the company's growth to impress others."
