Boosteroid, the world’s largest independent cloud gaming provider, operates a GPU-based infrastructure spanning 27 data centers across Europe, North and South America. With growing demand across multiple regions—including significant interest from Brazil—Boosteroid sought to expand its presence in Latin America.

Due to external challenges, the launch in Brazil had been postponed, but the opportunity remained strong. Latitude.sh supported their entry into this key market by providing reliable infrastructure and local expertise.

Together, Boosteroid and Latitude.sh deployed the platform’s first servers in Latin America—specifically in Brazil. Through colocation, the servers are owned by Boosteroid, while Latitude.sh ensures seamless operation and network reliability.

Boosteroid and its mission

We can honestly say that Boosteroid is the biggest independent cloud gaming provider in the world, offering seamless access to video games without the need for high-end hardware.

With over 6.5 million users, it stands as the third-largest cloud gaming platform globally, competing directly with multi-billion dollar companies like Microsoft and Nvidia.

Much like how Spotify transformed music, and Netflix revolutionized video streaming, Boosteroid is redefining gaming by enabling players to enjoy AAA titles on PCs, Macs, smartphones, smart TVs, and even in-vehicle infotainment systems.

To power its service, Boosteroid employs a custom server solution developed with ASUS and AMD, integrating the latest generation of consumer-grade GPUs to make cloud gaming a reality.

This infrastructure optimizes gaming performance and supports advanced technologies like AMD Fluid Motion Frames (FMF) and FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR), allowing game streaming at up to 4K resolution and 120 FPS.

Headquartered in Austin, USA, with an R&D office in Kyiv, the company was founded in 2016 by Ivan Shvaichenko and launched commercially in 2019.

Latitude.sh and Boosteroid join forces

Finding a data center capable of supporting the company’s infrastructure proved difficult, as most facilities in Brazil could not meet Boosteroid’s power requirements.

“Most of them were not able to provide even 8KW per rack, and those who could were not able to meet our other requirements,” explains Antonina Batova.

This limitation was a deal-breaker, as it would have forced the company to spread its servers inefficiently across multiple racks, making deployment technically complex and commercially unviable.

Latitude.sh stood out by offering 10kW per rack and, more importantly, by understanding Boosteroid’s specific needs. “Not only to offer us 10kW per rack, but also to understand what we need in terms of power and how we can distribute these servers,” Batova notes.

Unlike standard data center offers, which often overlook individual business needs, Latitude.sh worked closely with Boosteroid to determine the optimal setup for their infrastructure. Beyond the technical aspects, smooth communication played a crucial role.

As an European-American company, Boosteroid often relies on local data centers to handle infrastructure deployment, cabling, and maintenance—especially since COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine made remote management more complex.

“It was really important for us to know that there are some experienced engineers who can do this in Brazil because it's impossible to micromanage from another continent,” Batova emphasizes.

The ability to trust Latitude.sh’s technical team was essential for ensuring a successful deployment.

“From our experience, local companies that are passionate about what they do are the best to deal with in terms of service quality, trust, and availability,” says Batova.

By bringing servers closer to players, Boosteroid ensures that Brazilian gamers can enjoy a high-performance cloud gaming experience with minimal latency.

What made Boosteroid stay with Latitude.sh

One of the key advantages of sourcing connectivity from a data center is that it typically comes as a blend of multiple providers rather than relying on a single network.

This setup ensures redundancy, so if one provider experiences issues, traffic can be rerouted through another. While Boosteroid’s experience with Latitude.sh’s network has been strong overall, recent events demonstrated the value of this approach in practice.

“The communication was really fast, and they helped us migrate our traffic and reroute it,” explains Antonina Batova.

Unlike some providers that take 24 hours to acknowledge a ticket, Latitude.sh’s team engages immediately, keeping Boosteroid informed and working on a resolution.

This level of responsiveness has been a defining factor in Boosteroid’s experience. “Brazil wasn’t an easy country to deploy in, but Latitude really leveraged some of these difficulties from us, being a one-stop solution,” Batova states.

Her recommendation is clear:

I would advise anyone who wants to deploy in Brazil to try out Latitude.
