St. Louis, Mo. Progression, LLC dba GameRail today announced that it has completed a direct connection with high performance hosting provider ServerBeach. GameRail subscribers and free beta users will bypass the high latency Internet for direct access to ServerBeach’s distributed hosting platform that hosts popular game serving providers such as Wolf Servers.
“We are excited to connect with ServerBeach. Gamers now have access to great titles on great servers on the ServerBeach Platform via the GameRail Network” said GameRail’s President Blake Ashby.
Online multiplayer computer gaming is one of the fastest growing entertainment activities in the U.S., with over 40 million people now playing regularly. GameRail recently introduced the first network designed to meet the speed and quality needs of online gaming. GameRail’s bypass network delivers a “direct connect” from the game player to the game host and avoids the congestion and inefficient routing paths of the regular Internet. Once GameRail and the subscriber’s provider of Internet access are interconnected, the subscriber’s game play packets bypass the multi-hop, high latency Internet and hot route on a dedicated, national broadband network connected to the game host.
GameRail’s nation-wide, private backbone with Phase 1 access points in seven major cities is presently establishing peering relationships with access providers, game hosts and data center/collocation providers who support game hosts.
