How PacketStream improved network architecture for the reliability and scalability of game hosting infrastructure.
About Stella IT
Founded in 2017, Stella IT has built deep expertise in network infrastructure operations and hosting services. It has expanded its market on the strength of stable operations and technical capability, particularly in Minecraft-based multiplayer game hosting.
Stella IT's core operating goal is to continuously provide reliable, scalable hosting infrastructure in an ever-changing cloud environment.
Challenge
For real-time multiplayer games, service quality is determined by many technical factors — latency, network quality, and security performance among them.
As its services grew and traffic increased, Stella IT faced the following technical challenges.
- Network bottlenecks and rising latency from growing traffic
- Service instability caused by repeated DDoS attacks
- Reduced scalability due to per-segment bandwidth limits and inefficient routing
- Quality degradation such as session drops and outages on certain paths
These factors directly affected stable game hosting operations.
Solution
PacketStream analyzed Stella IT's network environment and delivered a network optimization solution based on DDoS Mitigation infrastructure and Direct Internet Access (DIA). This gave Stella IT an environment capable of continuous service even under attack, while improving overall network quality.
DDoS Mitigation — Always-On Inline Protection
- Real-time traffic monitoring based on an Always-On inline architecture
- Automatic mitigation of large-scale volumetric and application-layer attacks
- Continuous operation with no service interruption even during attacks
- Policy and filtering tuned to game traffic patterns
Direct Internet Access (DIA)
- Direct connectivity to major domestic ISPs
- Optimized routing that reduced average latency by more than 30%
- Stable throughput and bandwidth even during traffic spikes
Result
After adopting PacketStream's solution, Stella IT saw the following improvements.
- Stable operation with no downtime thanks to Always-On DDoS response
- More than 30% improvement in average latency through domestic backbone routing optimization
- 99.99% service availability maintained even under peak traffic
- Higher customer satisfaction and retention from improved game hosting quality
Looking Ahead
Building on the reliable network infrastructure established with PacketStream, Stella IT is pursuing expansion beyond the domestic market into global game hosting services.
PacketStream will continue to provide optimized network infrastructure and protection solutions for customers that demand high availability and strong security performance.
