Shanda Games Announces Implementation of Cutting-edge Technological Solution for Servers
Shanghai, China – February 12, 2009 –Shanda Games Limited ("Shanda Games" or "SDG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited (NasdaqGS: SNDA), today announced that it has implemented a cutting-edge technological solution that significantly improves server efficiency. As a result of the implementation, the cluster of servers required for the same number of game titles has been reduced.
Utilizing server virtualization technology, the solution improves server efficiency and enables SDG to support a larger capacity of users with fewer servers. Five of the Company's games are currently operated under a pilot program, and the number of servers supporting each of these titles has been reduced. SDG expects to extend implementation of the solution to additional game titles in the future.
“The new solution is a quantum leap in how we manage our server resources, and allows us to support more games with current server infrastructure,“ said Ms. Diana Li, Chief Executive Officer of Shanda Games. “This is yet another example of Shanda Games’ leadership in technological innovations, and further demonstrates the Company’s enduring commitment to creativity and innovation, as well as dedication to optimizing operational efficiency and improving user experience.”
