High-Performance Storage Infrastructure for Innovative Gaming Studio

Industry: Gaming Development

Organisation Size: Global Studio with High-Performance Compute Requirements

Service Provided: Enterprise Storage Solution Design & Delivery – HPE Alletra 6000 Series

The Challenge

This fast-scaling international gaming studio required a new high-performance storage solution to support the next phase of its game development infrastructure. With large data sets, intensive rendering, and a globally distributed development team, their IT environment demanded exceptional performance, reliability, and scalability.

Key business drivers included:

• Ultra-fast storage throughput for large-scale game builds and asset rendering
• Scalable architecture for rapidly growing data volumes
• 24x7 support to ensure minimal disruption to globally synced development cycles
• Expert guidance to validate architectural decisions and future-proof the investment

The Solution

Working in close partnership with HPE and drawing on our deep technical experience, Kuiper scoped and supplied a highly available, enterprise-grade storage platform based on the HPE Alletra 6000 series.

The deployment included:

• HPE Alletra 6050 Base Array (R4U30A) – the scalable backbone of the customer’s new data storage environment
• HPE 6000 368TB Bundle (R7S88A) – ultra-high capacity using 24x 15.3TB drives for optimal performance and data density
• 2x100GbE Adapters (R0R18A) – ensuring ultra-fast connectivity to the core network
• QSFP28 100m Transceivers (R7D08A) – enabling seamless fibre integration across racks and datacentres
• HPE Pointnext Tech Care Essential 24x7x4 On-site Support, covering parts and labour with a 4-hour response SLA for complete peace of mind

All components were configured and validated with the customer, ensuring they met the demands of modern, high-velocity game development workflows.

The Impact

The new solution delivered a step-change in storage performance and operational reliability for the studio’s infrastructure teams:

• Accelerated Development Cycles: Faster access to builds, rendering assets, and collaborative files significantly boosted engineering productivity
• Scalability & Resilience: Architecture designed to scale as data needs increase, with HPE’s proven reliability at its core
• IT Efficiency: The internal IT team now benefits from a simplified management interface and vendor-aligned support
• Strategic Assurance: By engaging Kuiper and HPE pre-sales jointly, the customer had full confidence in the architecture and its ability to support future game titles
