What started as a simple onscreen bouncing ball game in the 1970s has turned into a USD 79 billion industry in 2020. And with 5G just lurking around the corner, the online gaming industry is projected to grow at 18% CAGR to surpass $182 billion by 2025.
In today's Cloud-first world, gaming corporations seek low-latency infrastructure to seamlessly support complex RAM-hungry games.
Setting The Context
Today, the online gaming industry comprises creative, independent minds leveraging boundary-pushing technologies to develop innovative and immersive stories. Delivering an alluring cinematic experience, these technologies are driving community engagement like never before.
Creativity and immersive stories play second fiddle to digital infrastructure. This calls for voluminous data and seamless access to applications. Yet another aspect is the need for superfast, uninterrupted connectivity. Even short spurts of downtime can be detrimental to player progress and loss of interest. Low-latency connectivity thus becomes critical for online gaming.
The Dynamics and Emerging Tech
Software DNA is becoming more complicated and technical. Developers seeking to offer immersive experiences acknowledge the need for mission-critical infrastructure.
With the burgeoning gaming market, the need for additional power and network connectivity shall accelerate. Today, the latest games feature Virtual Reality (VR) and back-end Artificial Intelligence (AI) to process voluminous data backed by an agile infrastructure.
