ESL Gaming relies on DataStax for critical real-time global gaming service delivery. ESL Gaming is the world's largest eSports network, supporting today’s most popular video games with high-profile, branded international leagues and tournaments. The ESL Play service has more than 11 million members and has given out more than €7million in prizes.
Ben Burns, Vice President Technology at ESL Gaming, said, "In the gaming sector, you have to be available 24/7, and you have to be fast. While we have a large deployment in terms of size, what really matters to us is the stability, integrity and availability of that data, as we have to support millions of users around the clock and around the world." He said, "Our operations -- and our business -- rely on Cassandra and DataStax.”
