关于客户
Pocket Gems, based in San Francisco, has been creating graphically rich and innovative mobile games for over 11 years. They specialize in offering unique mobile experiences that appeal to a wide range of players, from narrative games to strategic, multiplayer titles with a focus on combat. A common theme in all their games is the ability to unite players globally. One of their flagship games, War Dragons, is a 3D real-time mobile strategy game where players collaborate to build dragon armies, form guilds, and battle rivals. The company emphasizes creating interactive experiences that connect players worldwide.
挑战
When Pocket Gems began building War Dragons in 2013, they intended for the game to be heavily reliant on multiplayer interactions. However, they soon realized the importance of social interaction for player engagement and retention. Initially, they built their own in-game chat, which allowed for simple text exchanges. This solution worked for private chats but was insufficient for real-time battles where players needed to communicate quickly and effectively. The challenge was to provide a robust, real-time chat solution that could handle the high volume of messages and users during large-scale battles and events.
解决方案
To address the need for robust real-time communication, Pocket Gems implemented PubNub as their in-game chat solution for War Dragons. This allowed them to offer real-time chat for private conversations, group chats between guild members, and large-scale battles. Players could share contextual information like battle positions, enhancing their sense of connection and engagement. Additionally, PubNub enabled real-time updates, allowing Pocket Gems to push notifications about crucial events or changes in the game. This made the game more captivating and lively, as players received updates in real-time rather than only when they logged in. The implementation of PubNub was quick and seamless, allowing Pocket Gems to scale their chat and update features effortlessly.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
