October 26, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Managed services provider Global Netoptex (gni.com) and virtual world technology provider BigWorld (bigworldtech.com), announced on Thursday they have formed a strategic partnership under which GNi will provide BigWorld clients with hosting and management services designed for multiplayer online games.
This agreement solidifies BigWorld’s leadership position in building leading-edge solutions for MMO and virtual world developers, while providing a customized delivery solution for a global marketplace, says the company.
The partnership with GNi also will enable BigWorld licensees to access state-of-the-art hosting facilities, the first of which will be housed at GNi’s Oakland, California facility. The focused environment will provide licensees cost-effective and efficient hosting and management services with an organization that has a solid technical foundation including specialized expertise in the online gaming environment, says the company.
“BigWorld is clearly a world leader in the MMOG development space, and partnering enables GNi Games and Digital Media and BigWorld to jointly offer world-class, global hosting facilities and service to BigWorld licensee companies,” says James Hursthouse, president of GNi’s Games and Digital Media Division.
GNi announced last month it signed an agreement to provide disaster recovery colocation space and Internet transit services for Medical Consultants Network.
