Telecom Lead Team: G-cluster Global, a cloud-based video and gaming
service provider, has received investment funds from SFR Développement and
Intel Capital. The investments will accelerate G-Cluster’s multi-device
development and further boost sales growth.
Together
with funding from Intel, this investment by such a major operator as SFR is a
resounding validation of the relevance of our technology and our multi-device
approach, deployed worldwide,” said Erik Piehl, president and
representative director of G-cluster Global.
G-cluster utilizes its
G-cluster technology to provide white-label cloud-based video and gaming
service. The technology allows interactive content requiring low latency, such
as high-end video games and full-length DVD films, to be distributed to a wide
range of devices.
In
Europe, G-cluster Global’s cloud-based video gaming service was first
commercialized on SFR’s Neufbox one year ago. One million households have
already benefited from the service, recently made available for Mac and PC and
neufbox Evolution.
SFR
is delighted to support G-Cluster since its launch. We are convinced the
cloud-based solutions are in phase with the new modes of consumption. Their
successes confirm the managed networks superiority,” said Pierre-Emmanuel
Struyven, president of SFR Développement.
G-cluster Global received
investment funding from Intel Capital in November 2011.
