Global Netoptex, Inc. (GNi), a Leading Provider of Customer-Centric
Managed Hosting Services, Today Announced it has Acquired Long-Term Partner
Online Game Services, Inc. (OGSi) in a Deal Valued in Excess of $3 million
OGSi has been developing its game service provider business model since its
inception in June 2004. The company provides leading game companies such as
Ping0 LLC and GoPets Ltd. with state-of-the-art, game-specific, dedicated
hosting environments, and network services.
"OGSi has enjoyed a productive, successful relationship with GNi for the past
two years," said James Hursthouse, CEO of OGSi. "Combining our two companies
clearly strengthens our ability to serve the game industry with innovative
hosting solutions. We'll also be taking our 'pay-as-you-grow' model into new
areas such as interactive TV, video and music services, and social community
websites."
The two companies had previously announced the deployment of more than 1000 IBM
BladeServers in a game-specific hosting environment in San Francisco designed to
support millions of users across multiple game titles. They expect to have over
4,000 additional servers operational for games clients in 10 datacenters
worldwide by the end of 2007. Installed servers include AMD, Intel, and PowerPC
based blades configured to customer specifications.
"Acquiring OGSi is a natural progression," stated Derek Wise, GNi's president
and CEO. "By combining their expertise in the games space with ours in managed
services, we achieve increased economies of scale and efficiency to better serve
our customers." The move strengthens the ability of both companies to provide
compelling "pay-as-you-grow" game hosting solutions to the online games
industry.
GNi offers multi-carrier/multi-homed internet transit, managed services and 24x7
"remote hands" support to maximize uptime, eliminate points of failure, and
provide reliable service for mission-critical applications. The rapidly
expanding managed services provider also guarantees 100% percent network
availability through its service level agreements.
