  3. Introduction • Anyone who has ever worked on an online game knows how challenging it is to consistently deliver content and patches to players across the globe. • Whether it’s a simple puzzle app or an MMORPG, games tend to require a lot of resources and maintenance. •  Consequently, content delivery networks that specialize in gaming have arisen to address these obstacles to customer satisfaction.

  4. What does CDN for Gaming Do? • A CDN utilizes a global network of servers to streamline the delivery of downloads, by caching content nearest to your visitor. • Doing so helps not only improve performance but also reduces the risk of failures and server crashes by offloading bandwidth from the origin. • In addition to improving performance, certain CDNs offer what’s called Push Zones which allow developers to host their entire game on the CDNs storage cluster thus ridding the need for an origin server entirely.

  5. Benefits of CDN in Games • The benefits of CDN in games are; • Improving the experience before playing • Consistent speed and performance • Scalability and Flexible Pricing • Improve the game experience • Many console games that are primarily played offline require pre-game and post-installation downloads.

  6. Continue... •  “Day one patches” are becoming commonplace and even expected.  • Consistent speed and performance • Compared to other apps, online games require a lot of player input, and a mere millisecond of lag can completely ruin the user experience. • Delivering massive files as fast as possible is just the first step to ensuring player satisfaction. • Scalability and Flexible Pricing • Speaking of which, a good CDN for gaming must be ready to handle large request surges at all times.

  7. Conclusion • Using any CDN is better than doing it yourself, but not all CDNs are created equally.  • When choosing a CDN for gaming, do plenty of research to make sure that you find the company that can meet the needs of your players for the best price. • Speed and reliability are obviously the most important factors when choosing a CDN for gaming, but figuring out “where” a CDN is fast is extremely important.
