Konami Digital Entertainment has purchased Radware's ADC-VX application delivery controller hypervisor to consolidate its system infrastructure, improve the quality of experience for customers and provide them with new ways of having fun.
The ADC, a first of its kind in the industry, runs multiple virtual ADC instances on Radware’s dedicated OnDemand Switch platform and features unique virtualisation capabilities, which include complete fault, network and management isolation between its virtual ADC instances. This isolation architecture will help Konami minimise the need for additional investment in hardware to support application processing requirements and ultimately decrease costs.
Additionally, the deployment of Radware’s ADC-VX provides operational expenditure savings in terms of power, cooling, carbon footprint, reduced annual service costs and new service facilitation.
"We were looking for a virtualised ADC solution to consolidate our networking systems globally connecting to thousands of arcade games," said Mitsuhiro Masanobu, director of studio IT centre at Konami.
Masayoshi Akimoto, country manager Japan at Radware, added: "As a leading entertainment provider, Konami required a scalable, highly available solution that would deliver more with less hardware, while enabling it to offer the highest quality of experience to its customers.
"Our ADC-VX is designed from the ground up to enable an organisation like Konami to consolidate its ADC hardware devices without compromising the resiliency or performance predictability of its ADC services - resulting in significant savings of hardware costs and operational expenses."
