Your Players Become Part of the Synchronized Hybrid Network
PEERNAP™ Hybrid Object Content Delivery Network
Every time a player downloads your game update, they instantly become part of the delivery network. PEERNAP™ quietly splits the file into thousands of small pieces and lets players share them with each other, while your existing CDN stays active as a safety net in the background. The result is dramatic. Instead of your CDN carrying the full weight of every download, your players do the heavy lifting together. The more players online at launch, the faster everyone downloads. Your infrastructure costs drop while your delivery quality goes up. No changes to your game. No changes to your CDN. Just a small integration that turns your player base into your most powerful delivery asset.
