Extremely Reliable Solution For German Online Gaming Provider

Frankfurt, Germany – 20 January 2009 – euNetworks, (SGX: H23.SI), Europe’s foremost provider of mission-critical, high-performance networking solutions, today announced that it has concluded an agreement with service provider globalnet GmbH, formerly known as useBiT GmbH. Under the terms of the agreement, euNetworks will deploy a secure gaming platform consisting of high-performance Ethernet connectivity and a next generation suite of massively scalable, high-capacity IP solutions.

globalnet GmbH is one of Germany’s leading service providers and supplier of youplay.de, a professional Internet gaming platform. Operating in one of the most demanding and highly time sensitive sectors, globalnet GmbH required the utmost levels of latency and availability in their solution, connecting their expanding customer base to their headquarter in Frankfurt. euNetworks provided globalnet GmbH with ether|nex, a massively scalable and extremely low-latency Ethernet connection to globalnet GmbH’s own datacenter in Frankfurt, providing the gaming provider with an uplink to euNetworks’ global IP network. In addition, euNetworks designed and deployed IP|nex, a suite of massively scalable, high-performance, near zero-downtime IP solutions comprising Tier 1 IP transit for the fastest, most reliable Internet access in the industry.

Thomas Umbach, Managing Director of globalnet GmbH, commented: “As provider of a professional Internet gaming platform and solutions built around our datacenter location in Frankfurt, globalnet GmbH requires the maximum levels of security and lowest latency in our networking solutions. euNetworks was one of the few providers who could deliver both: high-performance Ethernet connectivity and access to one of the largest IP platforms worldwide. We are very satisfied with the integrated solution that euNetworks delivered.”

It goes without saying that globalnet GmbH as one of the leading online gaming providers in Germany demanded the highest levels of reliability and security in their solution. euNetworks’ high-performance Ethernet and IP platform was the ideal solution for globalnet GmbH, delivering a secure and extremely low-latency service.”
