关于客户
Gamesys is a leading online gaming company, founded in 2001, with a mission to become the world’s most entertaining online gaming company. Starting with Jackpotjoy, it has grown into an award-winning team of designers, developers, and operators behind some of the leading gaming sites and apps, including Virgin Games. With over 1,000 employees across seven group offices worldwide, Gamesys is headquartered in Central London. The company is known for its innovative approach and commitment to providing an excellent gaming experience to its users.
挑战
Gamesys was in the process of building a highly scalable poker platform and was exploring various technology options to store the game state. The solution needed to be capable of being used both for real money gaming and social platforms. For real money gaming, redundancy was crucial to ensure that a player’s money couldn’t be lost, requiring replication of results and idempotent handling of actions. For social platforms, the system needed to be fast, elastic, and cost-effective, capable of scaling up quickly based on fluctuating demand. The challenge was to build a platform that could manage failures without losing a player’s money, was highly available and elastic, and could handle tens of thousands of concurrent players.
解决方案
Gamesys chose Hazelcast IMdG to address its need for a fast, elastic, and reliable in-memory computing solution. Hazelcast IMdG was rigorously tested with 100,000 concurrent user sessions in a hybrid setup using their NoSQL database as a system of record. This allowed Gamesys to benefit from the speed of Hazelcast IMdG while leveraging the resilience of the NoSQL database. The deployment experience was straightforward, and the performance was very fast, meeting Gamesys’s criteria for low latency and high throughput. Hazelcast IMdG provided a rich set of capabilities in its SDK, allowing the Gamesys development team to focus on their core domain. The solution was deployed in a client-server topology, enabling fast read and writes, and supporting frequent data modifications. The operations team found it easy to integrate Hazelcast Management Center with their existing monitoring system, simplifying node management and scaling. Hazelcast IMdG’s enterprise Rolling upgrades feature allowed for seamless cluster upgrades without service disruption, reducing downtime and increasing business continuity.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
