i3D.net is specialised in global game hosting for publishers and developers, a service that requires excellent network performance and latency. Placing the i3D.net services close to the user is key in delivering that high-quality service. By connecting to the Asteroid Amsterdam Internet exchange point (IXP), i3D.net can do so in an efficient and effortless manner. At the Asteroid IXP, i3D.net will be able to peer locally, handing off their gaming traffic to players while knowing for sure that the next-hop router is physically located in the same data centre campus. This will result in a significant reduction in latency to any of the video games hosted by i3D.net.
At i3D.net, we are all about providing that high-quality experience. In the gaming industry you constantly need to innovate to stay ahead of the curve. That is why we like the smart and innovative approach by Asteroid. The modern Asteroid IXP with its automation at the core and its focus on true local interconnection and high performance, matches perfectly with the i3D.net mindset.
