Velocix. Revolutionizing Digital Delivery.

Velocix Game

Enabling new business models and innovative digital delivery methods for video game producers and distributors.

Video game providers are looking beyond the installed base of consoles and PCs to meet the demand for casual, multi-session and massively multiplayer games. Whereas previously a games producer would have targeted 3 or 4 technology platforms, they are now publishing onto a myriad of gaming systems. On-line gaming has moved from a niche for hardcore players to a mainstream feature of all games.

On-line game delivery opens up exciting new opportunities with shortened lead times, zero manufacturing costs and dramatically simplified supply chain logistics. Unlike physical CD or DVD game distribution, on-line delivery makes it easy to distribute patches after game titles have hit the shelves, eliminating the need for costly manufacturing re-runs and product recalls, as well as updates and extensions to games as they are played on-line. Games become more accessible to consumers and download services can be integrated directly into on-line marketing campaigns, providing instant fulfillment.

The challenge however, is how to provide compelling, reliable and cost-effective on-line video game delivery services. With many of today's video game titles using complex animations, advanced real time graphics, simulation, surround sound and HD video, the size of game files has become too large for the Internet or traditional Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to cope with.

Fortunately, the Velocix Game family of services addresses this challenge, offering game providers the most advanced and cost effective on-line delivery solutions available. With guaranteed delivery, class of service options and download integrity checking capabilities, Velocix is ideally suited to meet the on-line delivery needs of the video game industry.

Velocix Game optionally provides advanced Next generation P2P delivery capabilities, blended with delivery from our global caching network, to consistently maintain required delivery performance levels under even the most demanding conditions and provide unhindered scalability for flash crowds. Our unique Hybrid delivery (P2P + caching) takes advantage of free P2P bandwidth to dramatically lower the overall cost of delivery.
