20 1 1 at the beginning of the year, Tap4Fun began to gradually shift its business focus from software outsourcing to mobile games with higher profit margin. First of all, Tap4Fun is the first batch of mobile phone application developers on the iOS platform in China. Since 2008, its Twitter mobile client software and news reading software have been leading the global bestseller rankings of Apple App Store. In this process, Tap4Fun has accumulated rich experience in the development and operation of overseas mobile clients. Secondly, after investigation, Tap4Fun found that overseas mobile game users have higher acceptance of paid mobile games. Based on the above reasons, Tap4Fun chose the strategy of opening up overseas markets.
However, Tap4Fun, as an entrepreneurial company, has no experience in operating data centers independently, and the environment of overseas operators is complex, and the progress of self-built data centers is uncontrollable. At the same time, the requirements of the business department for the underlying architecture are very strict and urgent. So in this case, choosing a cloud service provider became the best choice at that time.
