Boosteroid, the largest independent gaming service, chooses CRA's data centre for its expansion into the Czech Republic
Boosteroid, the world's largest independent cloud gaming provider, is expanding its European infrastructure with the launch of new servers in the Czech Republic. The company has chosen CRA’s data centre.
Boosteroid has tens of thousands of users in the Czech Republic. Until now, Czech players have accessed Boosteroid through data centres in neighbouring countries. Using a local CRA data centre will significantly increase performance, reduce latency, and increase overall capacity. This will result in a better gaming experience and improved stability.
Boosteroid plans to scale its infrastructure within CRA’s network of data centres, starting in Prague and expanding to other cities across the country in the future. As part of this expansion, Boosteroid will deploy the latest AMD EPYC™ processors and Radeon™ RX 7900 XT GPUs to ensure smooth gaming even in 4K resolution at up to 120 FPS. With Boosteroid, gamers can enjoy AAA gaming on virtually any device, including smart TVs, tablets, smartphones, and even in-car infotainment systems.
‘The Czech Republic is one of our most important markets in Europe. As we continue our long-term infrastructure investments in the region, we are pleased to deploy local servers in the CRA Prague data centre to provide Czech players with a superior cloud gaming experience’, said Antonina Batova, Senior Vice President of Infrastructure at Boosteroid.
‘Our data centres provide the high-performance, secure, and scalable infrastructure needed to meet the demands of the growing gaming community. We are pleased to be able to demonstrate this by working with such a prominent player as Boosteroid’, said Petr Možiš, CRA's Chief Commercial Officer.
The Czech Republic is one of the most important markets for Boosteroid, surpassing even countries such as Spain in terms of the number of users. With a strong gaming community and demand for affordable and quality cloud gaming, this country is a key target for expansion.
CRA already operates eight data centres in the Czech Republic, including in Žižkov, Strahov, and Cukrák in Prague, as well as in Brno, Ostrava, Pardubice and Zlín. Interest in rental capacity continues to grow, which is why CRA has opened a new data hall at the Cukrák transmitter, purchased the Lužice data centre and is planning to modernise and expand the DC Tower in Žižkov. Preparations are also underway for the construction of one of the largest and most modern data centres in the region in Prague-Zbraslav, to be completed by the end of 2026.
