Mindscape relies on Interoute

Mindscape is leading distributor of video games in France. The group is the owner of a

number of leading brands and all in all, Mindscape offers a catalog of more than 700 games

translated into several languages and distributed, through its subsidiaries, to the main

European countries of France, England, Germany, Holland and Australia.

In 2008, Mindscape sold more than 7 million products and realized a turnover of 54.3 M€ in

growth of more than 32 %.

Since 2001, Interoute has delivered Mindscape’s connectivity and hosting requirements.

Originally, this collaboration started with the supply of a WAN connection for Mindscape’s

offices in France, England and Holland.

In 2003, Mindscape wanted to modernize its Parisian Headquarters’ IT infrastructure.

Mindscape chose Interoute’s VPN solution and gained high-speed Internet connection. In

addition, Interoute also supplies Mindscape’s internal messaging system and an anti-spam

solution.

At the end of 2007, Mindscape widened its needs and asks Interoute to provide the hosting

infrastructure and management of its blockbuster key game "Mission Equitation" via the

Interoute Managed Hosting solution.

Interoute’s data center hosting services and a point to point fibre link between the Parisian

site of Minscape and Interoute’s data center in Aubervilliers, allows Mindscape to outsource

their servers.

Interoute also supplies a tailored platform for Mindscape. Interoute runs the operation, the

technical maintenance, supplies the bandwidth and the hosting to assure high availability at

effective costs.

Fully satisfied with Interoute’s services, Mindscape requested the progressive

implementation of a Business Recovery Plan of Activity to guarantee the reassurance of its

data.

Philippe Moity, Interoute’s Country Manager France explains "we are delighted to see that

our collaboration with Mindscape keeps on. Whatever are their demands we meet their

expectations, we demonstrate our ability to react and scalability, by proposing a very wide

service, by adapting our network and our solutions according to the evolution of their needs."
