Background

Needed to get a service to prevent illegal game file distribution

There are mostly 2 cases that large network bandwidth is required particularly to online game providers: 1) when they offer a new game and 2) a download patch is needed to be downloaded to all gamers. In addition, it is quite not possible to expect how many users are going to be connected daily. This makes CDN service is useful for the game industry.
Besides the technical needs, XLGAMES also considered online security as one of the top priorities.

What did KINX do?

When game contents are uploaded, XLGAMES representative gets an automatic email alarm

Since KINX provides max 400G traffic, the quality of XLGAMES game services was not effected severely despite of the increasing number of users. XLGAMES enhanced its quality and effectiveness by using KINX 400G network and KINX provided customized services including sending email alarms for XLGAMES engineers. As a result, XLGAMES engineers could double-check their quality, the current state of their network and so on.
