Yazino Utilizes GigaSpaces' Platform for Online Casino

Considering an increasing trend of online gaming, GigaSpaces Technologies, a provider of a new generation of application platforms for Java and .Net environments, has provided Yazino, a massively multiplayer online casino, the application infrastructure used to build the first cloud-based, social casino platform.

According to the press release, Yazino is using GigaSpaces’ (News - Alert) eXtreme Application Platform (XAP) to scale on-demand while reducing costs and speeding time to market. Yazino fuses social interaction and multiplayer functionality, building a bridge between traditional online gambling and social gaming sites. Yazino has already registered more than 500,000 players, with more than 10,000 new players joining daily.

Hussein Chahine, Yazino’s founder and CEO, said that with XAP, the company has the flexibility to meet constantly changing business volumes, with linear, real-time dynamic scalability using a cloud-data center hybrid model.

XAP offers a unique enterprise-grade, end-to-end application scalability platform, which can handle extremely large volumes, be scaled out (or in) in real-time, and is governed by preset business SLAs, and which is ultra-fast due to the whole platform running in memory. A strategic solution enhancing IT efficiency and agility, it guarantees performance under peak demand while improving hardware utilization by up to 500 percent. It allows developers to build, deploy, and operate their infrastructures in any environment without a single code change.

Adi Paz (News - Alert), GigaSpaces’s executive vice president of marketing and business development, said that with XAP as the underlying infrastructure, clients like Yazino can focus on the business logic and speed time to market without concern for where the application will actually run.

By using XAP, Yazino now has a massively multiplayer/multi-game online casino platform optimized for extremely high throughput, with hundreds of thousands of concurrent, interactive players, while giving each player excellent response time.

GigaSpaces has released version 7.1 of the eXtreme Application Platform. This latest version is designed to automatically implement dynamic scalability and multi-tenancy, based on an organization's individual business requirements.
