Loudplay targets gamers with Equinix's assistance

Through Equinix’s partnership with AirSpeed, Loudplay is now using ECX Fabric to expand further across EMEA and Asia, with plans to increase its user base from 200,000 users to 500,000 by year-end 2021, by enablingthrough its cloud platformhigh-end PC gaming on any device.
