Perfect World CEO Dr. Robert H. Xiao: Content Consumption to Change Dramatically Thanks to 5G

Leave a comment

SHANGHAI, Aug. 5, 2020 — On July 30, Dr. Robert H. Xiao, CEO of Perfect World, delivered a keynote speech at the 2020 China Digital Entertainment Congress (CDEC), discussing the changes 5G has brought to the digital cultural and creative industry, and, most notably, to games.

Dr. Xiao explained that the digital transformation of the game industry is the current trend, while 5G is a new technical extension and foundation for the next stage of growth across the industry. Content consumption will change dramatically as a result of the imaginative possibilities brought about by 5G. To cite an example, new technologies such as 5G+AI and VR/AR will instigate disruptive changes across traditional cultural and entertainment communication channels and scenarios, generating new expectations in terms of content and experience, further promoting innovation in the integration of technology and content as well as the digitization and intelligentization of those channels and scenarios, while driving a new consumption experience.

Dr. Robert H. Xiao took e-sports as an illustration, expressing the opinion that with 5G, in tandem with cloud computing and increasingly mature virtual reality technologies, both the participation and the business model of e-sports in the future will become "hyper-interactive". With wearable devices, the audience can directly participate in the competition and even interact with the contestants within the competition environment in real time. This will be a truly innovative new approach when compared with how one approaches traditional sports. In turn, the experimental application of new technologies in e-sports will further activate and nurture the development of even newer technologies, breaking the current e-sports business model.

In addition, the possibilities for new media and other applications as a result of the popularization of 5G will move the user’s attention completely from offline to online. Xiao said that businesses must find new ways to interact with users, and that a wave of creative ideas around the new digital technologies will give rise to a whole new array of approaches for deeply interacting with users, bringing to the fore an important force empowering the transformation of the industry.

Leave a comment

The combined network infrastructures of Cloudflare and Megaport extend network availability to more worldwide locations.

BRISBANE, Australia, Aug. 5, 2020 — Megaport Limited (ASX:MP1) ("Megaport"), a global leading Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, today announced direct access to Cloudflare’s global network for its customers on Megaport’s global Software Defined Network (SDN).

As a Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI) launch partner, Megaport’s connectivity services enable greater flexibility for customers to rapidly on-ramp onto Cloudflare’s global network. They can establish a direct connection between their network and Cloudflare’s edge network using Megaport’s Virtual Cross Connects (VXC) for a reliable, high performing, and predictable connection. Customers also can extend the security, performance, and reliability benefits of Cloudflare to their Internet properties—whether they are deployed on-premises, in the public cloud, or in a shared data centre. This secure, direct access enables rapid scaling, consistent performance, and ease-of-use.

"At Cloudflare, we are constantly looking for ways to improve the security, performance, and reliability of our customers’ networks and teams," said John Graham-Cumming, Chief Technology Officer of Cloudflare. "By partnering with Megaport, we are providing an additional path for our customers to access our services in the location of their choice using the method they prefer. Secure, private, reliable, and efficient software-defined network connectivity between Cloudflare’s edge and our customers is another way we are helping to build a better Internet."

The combined presence of Cloudflare’s global network (which spans more than 200 cities in over 100 countries, including 17 in mainland China) and Megaport (with over 700 enabled data centres globally), makes it easier to protect networks from even more locations. The partnership of Megaport and Cloudflare means customers can directly connect to Cloudflare’s network even if they are not in the same data centre.

Phase one will provide direct access to Cloudflare’s network. This includes acceleration and security services such as Cloudflare Magic Transit, DDoS protection, and security solutions. Access will be available on three continents from 14 initial metro markets, with more locations planned for the future. Megaport and Cloudflare have a history of collaboration, with Cloudflare joining Megaport Internet Exchange (MegaIX) in 2014.

"Cloudflare and Megaport are driven to offer greater flexibility to our customers," said Matt­ Simpson, Vice President, Cloud Services, Megaport. "In addition to accessing Cloudflare’s network on Megaport’s global internet exchange service, customers can now provision on-demand, secure connections through our Software Defined Network directly to Cloudflare Network Interconnect on-ramps globally. With over 700 enabled data centres in 23 countries, Megaport extends the reach of CNI on-ramps to the locations where enterprises house their critical IT infrastructure. Because Cloudflare’s network is interconnected with our SDN, customers can point, click, and connect in real time. We’re delighted to grow our partnership with Cloudflare and bring CNI to our services ecosystem—allowing customers to build multi-service, securely-connected IT architectures in a matter of minutes."

Key Points:

  • Megaport’s Network as a Service solution enables customers to directly and securely connect and integrate between on-premises, cloud, and third-party application environments with ease and choice.
  • Customers can connect to Cloudflare’s global network from any of Megaport’s more than 700 enabled data centres in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.
  • Establish and configure a private network interconnection to Cloudflare’s network in a matter of minutes across Megaport’s SDN. Deployments complete in minutes, not days.
  • Reduced hardware dependency means fewer capital expenses. Customers can privately connect to Cloudflare’s network using Megaport’s platform, and replace on-premises hardware with network functions delivered and billed as a service.
  • Cloudflare provides a scalable, unified control plane to deliver security, performance, and reliability for multi-cloud deployments. Enforce the same security policies across all clouds, regardless of cloud vendor. Cloudflare provides multi-cloud load balancing, distributing traffic across different clouds, and CDN caching in order to further reduce latency with the advantage to lower egress charges from public cloud vendors.

Donuts Domains releases TrueName(TM). New brand provides more memorable, secure and available names than legacy domains.

Leave a comment

BELLEVUE, Wash., Aug. 4, 2020 — The statistics are startling: seventy-six percent of businesses reported being a victim of a phishing attack in the last year, according to leading cybersecurity firm Retruster. In response, Donuts, Inc. has announced it’s including proprietary anti-phishing technology in every one of their domains.

TrueName(TM) domains by Donuts Inc., the global leader in new top-level domains.
TrueName(TM) domains by Donuts Inc., the global leader in new top-level domains.

Phishing is among the most prevalent forms of online fraud. TrueName offers businesses and individuals the best and now most secure domain names for their websites and other digital destinations. Highly relevant and descriptive TrueName domains protect businesses from imposters using lookalike domains to deceive and defraud their customers.

TrueName parent company Donuts Inc. is the global leader in top-level domains, operating 242 extensions such as .live, .codes, .news and .guru. These top-level domains provide significantly more choice to those searching for their perfect domain name. Relevant domain names ending in .com, .net, and .org are largely unavailable and do not offer the same protection, making TrueName domains uniquely differentiated in the industry.

"If you’re doing business online, you want to focus on innovating and increasing traffic," said Donuts’ Chief Marketing Officer Mina Neuberg.  "TrueName domains are highly brandable and come with security included to prevent phishing attacks, so they offer the best of all worlds to anyone seeking an online edge."

Donuts is working closely with all registrar partners including Name.com, Domene.Shop and Sav.com to integrate branding and messaging so their customers can easily find and register TrueName domains.

With Socialbakers, Shopee is Taking a Data-First Approach to Digital Campaign Management

Leave a comment

Southeast Asia’s leading e-commerce platform is leveraging AI to deepen engagement with users across Southeast Asia and Taiwan

SINGAPORE, Aug. 4, 2020 — Socialbakers, the leading unified platform for social media marketing, today announced how its partnership with Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, is driving engagement on Shopee’s social media platforms to new heights. Leveraging Socialbakers’ Content Hub, automated content labelling, and personalised dashboards, Shopee has not only improved operational efficiency and performance measurement, but also heavily influenced the number of conversions in the process.

Shopee is the number one shopping app in Southeast Asia, according to App Annie. It has captured the hearts and minds of consumers through a strong understanding of the region and well-executed localised strategies. Getting to its monolithic status today involved putting audience engagement at the centre of their strategy, allowing them to stand out in the industry and build unique relationships with their extensive user base in each market.

Executing this strategy required a robust end-to-end workflow. Starting from content creation to execution and finally reporting of results, Shopee’s large social media presence requires a reliable platform for effective cross-channel analysis. By working with Socialbakers and utilising Content Hub, Shopee is also able to execute post-performance analysis of social media campaigns more effectively.

Establishing their entire content management workflow in the Socialbakers Suite has given Shopee the capability to digest data, learn from it and generate content performance analysis that goes beyond traditional engagement metrics. As a result, Shopee is now experiencing improved operational efficiency and insight generation to drive audience engagement.

Agatha Soh, Head of Regional Marketing at Shopee said, "Shopee was built to cater to local needs and fulfill the increased need for engagement and social interaction. Users have always been at the core of our community building and engagement strategies. We closely monitor the latest trends and industry movements to deliver content that our users enjoy. Socialbakers’ strong suite of tools helps us to effectively optimise our data-driven approach to consumer engagement, enabling us to serve our users in the best way possible. We look forward to a continued partnership with Socialbakers."

"Shopee is the perfect example of a brand that understands the importance of great content when it comes to driving engagement on social media," said Charles Tidswell, Vice President JAPAC at Socialbakers. "By establishing their entire content management workflow in the Socialbakers Content Hub, Shopee has not only improved operational efficiency and performance measurement, but also heavily influenced the number of conversions in the process. Shopee’s audience-first approach to social media enables them to stand out in the industry and build unique customer relationships."
