About Indofun


Indofun Games is the leading mobile game provider in Indonesia, whose prides itself in providing entertaining games and having excellent services for its customers. Indofun provides fun and exciting online games to customers throughout the diverse mountainous and island landscape of Indonesia.

Challenge


Indofun requires a strong network where the image and audio quality of games can be maintained in real-time, and games can load and be downloaded quickly, so as not to take away from the fun. However, as the number of gamers increases, this has become increasingly difficult for Indofun to maintain. This is compounded by the fact that Indonesia is a country made up of thousands upon thousands of islands and is also mountainous. Therefore, Indofun must not only have the computing services and networking infrastructure to service big city gamers but also those players located in rural and remote areas of Indonesia.

Architecture


Alibaba Cloud provides Indofun with core computing and storage products like Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Server Load Balancer (SLB), as well as Block Storage and Object Storage Service (OSS). On top of this, database services such as ApsaraDB for Redis and ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL, as well as Data Transmission Service (DTS), have allowed such imperative background operations as regular data backups and data synchronization to be increasingly automated, allowing for much less manual intervention, thus streamlining the maintenance and operations work of Indofun's technical support team. Alibaba Cloud also provides networking service solutions of Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Elastic IP (EIP) to Indofun. In particular, by deploying 11+ local CDN nodes, Alibaba Cloud can ensure that games can be delivered with superior graphics quality and downloaded faster no matter where the end player is located. And through the service package that EIP offers, Alibaba Cloud maintains superior network quality through leveraging the service packages that local Internet Service Providers offer in the local cloud network infrastructure, thus ensuring superior network quality.
