PEER 1 hits up Austin Game Developers Conference
PEER 1 has had presence at the Game Developers Conference the past few years. I attended the San Francisco GDC back in March. While in San Francisco, we found out about Austin GDC through Mike Steele from Emergent Technologies. Since Austin is literally up the road from San Antonio, PEER 1 decided to exhibit and we sent a ServerBeach crew to work the booth and walk the floor. The show went really well. It was a lot smaller than the San Francisco show however, our booth received a lot of traffic. PEER 1 is usually the only hosting provider at GDC. We (PEER 1) attract gamers because of our network. Our network consists of datacenters across North America and a pop in London and Amsterdam. We have peering arrangements with various Tier 1 providers. We are also partenered with GameRail. So latency is really low which is why gamers like us hence our “Latency Kills” t-shirts. These t-shirts are such a huge hit. Gamers love them! We also gave out cool tattoos and 1GB ServerBeach branded thumbdrives.
Of course, Austin is also a fun city, weird, but fun.
