Kuma Games Deploys Flexible Foundation for Growing Business
Kuma Games, a leading episodic game publisher and developer, selects IBM BladeCenter to support rapid business growth. Kuma is a pioneer in the new market for Episodic Video Games -- rich, 3D, immersive game experiences delivered to consumers' PCs and gaming consoles in weekly episodes. Anticipating growth to continue at an accelerated rate, Kuma needed a new systems architecture that could accommodate thousands of simultaneous players and millions of game downloads, and provide a flexible foundation for its expanding business. IBM BladeCenter quad core HS21 servers offer the scalable architecture that Kuma needed to deliver immersive and responsive experiences to all levels of gamers. In addition, the BladeCenter solution is power efficient, helping Kuma manage energy costs, and has an open, flexible design that will allow the system to grow with Kuma as it expands its online business by adding new users, protecting the company's investment.
