关于客户
Pixowl is a mobile game studio that is leading a new generation of User Generated Content (UGC) games through a platform for players to create and share their own games. The company is based in San Francisco with a production office in Buenos Aires. Pixowl has developed games such as The Sandbox, The Sandbox Evolution, Snoopy’s Town Tale, Garfield, and many others. The company is focused on making great, fun, compelling games for their target audience of kids and families.
挑战
Pixowl, a mobile game studio, was facing a challenge in delivering smooth gameplay to its users. The mobile gaming industry is highly competitive and requires excellence in execution. One of the key factors in this execution is the game's overall performance, including the speed of loading its contents and the refresh time. In the mobile gaming industry, there is a player drop-rate of 20-40% for games if initial load times are over a minute long. Pixowl's game content, which is cloud-hosted by Digital Ocean, needed to be delivered as fast as possible to their players. However, Pixowl is a lean, indie gaming studio, and their focus is on making great, fun, compelling games for their target audience of kids and families, not to develop complex backend technical solutions to deliver their content. Thus, Pixowl’s challenge was to globally scale without distracting their engineers trying to develop games and avoiding internal headaches.
解决方案
Pixowl chose to enlist the services of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to quickly and globally serve their content. They chose Cloudflare’s CDN because it provided a simple, quick and headache-free approach to high performing Content Delivery. After the easy transition to Cloudflare’s network, Pixowl’s players saw immediate in-game performance benefits. The Gallery features a fluid UI with dynamic loading as the player scrolls through different worlds, and Cloudflare delivered their content with the speed and performance to immediately show the preview and metadata of the worlds without any asynchronous loading time. With Cloudflare, Pixowl’s in-game load times have become almost unnoticeable for most players.

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.
