G-Core is a Luxembourg-based global IT solutions provider offering a wide range of services, including hosting, CDN, peering network, and different levels of support, from smart hands to DDoS protection to advice on local regulations, and more. Initially developed to support online gaming, G-Core has three main KPIs: low latency, high availability and cost optimization.

These parameters run through many online industries, such as banking or streaming services, expanding client base far beyond gaming. Company DNA is creating custom solutions designed to address specific needs of the clients.

Our Services

Online gaming is a very demanding sphere. Creating the perfect game is not enough to be a success. You have to provide a service that is on par with your title. Regular IDC networks do not provide solutions that satisfy player’s needs. It’s an all too common occurrence that Russian players would be sent to your Russia-based IDC by cheaper routes via Europe, or even worse—the USA, turning the user experience into a nightmare. A gaming-oriented solution was simply nonexistent. We had to build it from scratch – obtain an ISP license, negotiate a direct traffic exchange with all the major CIS traffic providers, and locate our IDCs so we could cover the biggest country in the world within a latency of XX milliseconds.

Regardless of scale—whether you obtain hundreds of thousands of new players daily or a few hundred—game client downloads and, especially, major game updates can mark the difference between success and failure. We’ve created a network of servers located within a short distance between every meaningful city, resolving two major concerns of content delivery: speed and cost.

We provide a number of options for your business: whether you would like to have dedicated racks, rent servers from us or install your own hardware, or simply use shared hardware. It does not matter which model you prefer, our Tier 3 IDCs guarantee the uptime, security and DDOS protection.

Our primary goal is to make the CIS gaming market transparent and bring new players. In providing a large service, we receive significant discounts from our partners; our network, CDN and services are unique, but we do not focus on monetizing. In fact, switching to our solutions would decrease your monthly bill from your current provider, while greatly improving the quality.

There is a number of governmental restrictions on online business in Russia. User private information law is one of the most recent, coming into effect September 1st, 2015 – every company collecting a person’s private information (which could be anything leading to user identification) has to store this information physically in Russia. Russian authorities can ban any business that does not comply with this rule. We are happy to assist our partners with this particular case and other complications of the Russian legal system.

Due to multiple request from our clients we have recently introduced a service on Personal Data hosting in Russia to make sure their business is compliant with Federal Law 152-FZ.

Service consists of several steps:
We asses the security level required for storing the data according to the law
We provide a data base server compliant with the law
We provide a dedicated internet channel for our client to record the data
We submit all the papers to Roskomnadzor to inform that you are compliant with the law
We ensure 100% availability of hardware and network as well as the ultra security of your data
