Innova, the leading online games publisher in Russia, selects Telindus Telecom as a partner for the European market.
Luxembourg, April 13, 2012 – Telindus Luxembourg is proud to announce its partnership with Innova, one of the most successful publishers of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games in Russia and CIS. Innova has chosen Luxembourg as the main site for its European headquarters, as well as a central location for its new datacentre. The company aims to bring the same level of service quality and expertise to the European region that helped it develop the domestic MMO games market to the level of leading world trends.
Innova aims to shape the European online games market, which is marked by steady growth, developed infrastructure and numerous opportunities for attracting an active core community of players.
Currently, Innova is concentrating on “Lineage II” as a flagship title to be localized in many European languages. Dedicated servers will be provided, with the game being localized in several stages and supported in the following language formats: English, German, Polish, French, and Turkish. To achieve this goal, the company searched for a strong partner that can support its European expansion and provide a reliable datacenter, as well as a strong Internet network throughout Europe.
“We are delighted to have been selected by Innova to provide them with our competitive datacenter and connectivity solutions. Thanks to the Luxembourg government’s promotion efforts, it is the first time that a Russian online gaming company chooses to settle in Luxembourg. We convinced Innova’s management to let us assist them in their development of the European market. We are the only expert able to offer Innova leading technical solutions combined with the advantage of a single point of contact and a flexible approach.” said Gérard Hoffmann, Chairman & Managing Director of Telindus Luxembourg.
"I am quite confident that Innova has made the right choice. We were greatly encouraged by the number of initiatives coming from the Government of Luxembourg. Optic fiber networks, highly secure datacenters, combined with the benefits of the country's geographic location and easy access to policy makers has made this decision an easy one. To achieve success on the European territories, we need the assistance of a reliable and highly flexible partner to support our fast growth and ambitions. The decision to partner with Telindus Telecom is based on the quality of the company’s services; the dynamic approach to work that fits well with our philosophy of constant innovation, as well as the expertise and friendliness of the whole team. ” said Gevork Sarkisyan, the CEO of Innova.
