bwin Games AB, a leader in the development of digital poker products, has deployed Infobright Enterprise Edition (IEE) to manage the increasing volume of data generated by its online poker business. IEE is enabling bwin Games to store and quickly mine terabytes of data, without putting a heavy burden on the company’s hardware or administrative resources.
Challenge
bwin Games develops and maintains the software for one of the world’s largest poker networks, Ongame Network. bwin handles up to 45,000 concurrent poker players, with more than 10 million poker hands per day, over 70,000 deposits and withdrawals processed daily, as well as up to 6,000 financial transactions per second. As the amount of data generated by several million registered customers in over 25 core markets has increased, bwin Games required a cost-effective way to keep up with storage and processing demands.
“IEE’s compression capabilities are enabling us to store far more information than we could before, and we can run intensive queries in minutes instead of days ― all with minimal set-up and administration needed.”
- Carl Klingberg, managing director of bwin Games AB
Solution
With Infobright Enterprise Edition in place, bwin Games is able to store up to a year of poker data, process more than half a gigabyte of information per day, and run detailed, real-time queries that enable the company to make quicker, well-informed business decisions. The Infobright solution, which was successfully deployed at bwin Games in only a few hours, seamlessly integrates with the company’s MySQL database from Sun Microsystems.
“We honestly didn’t think this level of performance was possible, especially at such a reasonable price point. Infobright has delivered beyond our expectations.”
- Carl Klingberg, managing director of bwin Games AB.
