Therefore, the appearance here of G-Core Labs point of presence is a logical step. Our servers are built on new high-performance and fault-tolerant equipment from leading manufacturers, incl. HP and Dell. However, in case of a need to increase a capacity for any dedicated server, the necessary improvement can be made”, - said Andre Reitenbach, managing director of G-Core Labs.

On CDN (?ontent delivery network) 

CDN is a content delivery network. Most often it is a set of connected servers that accelerate the "return" of data (pics, videos, scripts) to the user. CDN servers are placed as close as possible to the final audience. The CDN takes the popular content to the cache servers that accumulate it, temporarily store (cache) and give it on subsequent requests. Locating servers closer to users reduces the number of hops, latency and server response time. This way content becomes locally accessible to end users. This factor improves final users experience and turns website visitors into paying customers.

G-Core Labs created its own global content delivery network (CDN) on 5 continents to solve the difficult problem of instantly transmitting the heaviest type of content — high-quality online games, with peak loads on the system. The infrastructure created was tested by millions of users playing at the same time & became the owner of the Guinness record.
