INVEN through Bespin Global
“By successfully moving to the cloud, we were able to lay the foundation for IT infrastructure for global services.”
Inven is Korea’s largest game webzine and community. It is Korea’s No.1 game media that produces various game leagues and programs through Internet broadcasting stations, with 1.4 million visitors (UV) per day, 1st place in game information, and 80% of the game webzine market share.
The Situation
In the recent rapidly changing game market, Inven also started a global business to expand globally. Although an on-premise data center was operated in Korea, problems with availability and scalability arose for service in New York, the North American base. When expanding to an on-premise system, large-scale resources and funds had to be invested from the stage of marketability verification, so the risk that had to be taken was high. In the end, Inven considered adopting AWS.
To the Cloud
Prior to adopting the AWS Cloud, Inven selected Bespin Global as a global deployment partner. Since it was necessary to build a system that could provide the same service as in Korea by connecting the on-premise data center in Korea and the AWS Virginia region, high technical competence was required.
Inven was particularly concerned that frequent failures occurring in the domestic on-premise environment would affect global services, and requested Bespin Global to support operational services.
Bespin Global prepared for cloud construction and migration according to Inven’s request, and performed stable migration based on global migration experience. Since then, we have been providing end-to-end, from system construction with security in mind, to cost management through BSP metering service.
