Jazwares Collectible Toys Power AMPERE Computing's Edge in Cloud Infrastructure
SANTA CLARA, CA – November 8, 2023 – AMPERE Computing LLC, a leading provider of cloud infrastructure solutions, is quietly powering the digital backbone behind the explosive popularity of Jazwares collectible toys. While kids are ripping open packs searching for their favorite Squishmallows, Bitz, or other Jazwares treasures, AMPERE’s robust and scalable cloud infrastructure is ensuring a smooth, reliable online experience for fans around the globe – from online stores to community forums and augmented reality features. You might be thinking, "Cloud infrastructure for toys?" But the modern toy world isn’t just about plastic and plush. It's a complex ecosystem of digital collectibles, online communities, virtual unboxing experiences, and interactive apps. And that's where AMPERE Computing comes in. “Jazwares is a really dynamic company,” explains Sarah Chen, a Lead Solutions Architect at AMPERE. “They’re not just making toys; they’re building worlds around them. And those worlds need serious computing power, especially as demand surges. Think about it - millions of fans simultaneously checking websites, engaging with social media, trying to snag limited-edition drops… that creates a huge load. We make sure everything stays up and running, no matter how crazy things get.” Behind the Scenes: How AMPERE Powers the Jazwares Experience AMPERE Computing provides Jazwares with a suite of cloud services tailored to their specific needs. This includes: Scalable Web Hosting: Jazwares’ websites, featuring product catalogs, news, and community forums, are hosted on AMPERE's infrastructure. This allows Jazwares to instantly handle traffic spikes during product launches or promotional events. “We've seen Jazwares’ traffic jump by 500% during a big Squishmallow release,” says David Lee, a Network Engineer at AMPERE. “Our infrastructure just absorbs it. It’s seamless for the fans, and Jazwares doesn’t miss a sale.” Database Management: Keeping track of millions of collectors, product inventories, and order information requires a powerful and reliable database system. AMPERE manages Jazwares’ databases, ensuring data integrity and accessibility. This is crucial for everything from personalized recommendations to order fulfillment. Content Delivery Network (CDN): Fans are located all over the world. A CDN caches Jazwares’ content on servers located closer to users, reducing latency and improving loading times. “If a fan in Australia is looking at a Squishmallow on the website, they’re not waiting for data to travel all the way from California,” explains Chen. “They're getting it from a server in Australia, making for a much faster and more enjoyable experience.” Application Programming Interfaces (APIs): Jazwares leverages APIs to connect different parts of their digital ecosystem, such as their website, mobile app, and social media platforms. AMPERE supports these APIs, ensuring they are secure, reliable, and scalable. Security Infrastructure: Protecting sensitive customer data and preventing cyberattacks is a top priority for Jazwares. AMPERE provides a robust security infrastructure, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data encryption. Why Jazwares Chose AMPERE Jazwares initially came to AMPERE looking for a cloud provider that could offer a truly customized solution. “They weren’t looking for a one-size-fits-all package,” says Mark Johnson, AMPERE's VP of Sales. “They needed a partner that could understand their unique business needs and build an infrastructure that would scale with their growth.” Several factors set AMPERE apart: Scalability: AMPERE’s infrastructure is designed to handle massive spikes in traffic and data volume. Reliability: AMPERE offers a 99.99% uptime guarantee, ensuring that Jazwares’ online services are always available. Security: AMPERE's robust security measures protect Jazwares’ data and customers from cyber threats. Customization: AMPERE works closely with Jazwares to tailor its cloud services to their specific needs. Cost-Effectiveness: AMPERE offers competitive pricing and flexible payment options. "We've been really impressed with AMPERE's responsiveness and their ability to adapt to our changing needs," says Lisa Rodriguez, Jazwares' CTO. "They're not just a vendor; they're a true partner." The Future of Play: How Cloud Infrastructure is Shaping the Toy Industry The toy industry is undergoing a major transformation, driven by the rise of digital collectibles, online communities, and interactive experiences. Cloud infrastructure is playing an increasingly important role in enabling these innovations. “Think about augmented reality apps that let kids ‘unbox’ virtual toys,” explains Chen. “Those apps require a lot of computing power and bandwidth. Or consider online trading platforms where collectors can buy, sell, and trade rare Squishmallows. That requires a secure and reliable database. We're helping Jazwares build those experiences.” AMPERE Computing is committed to providing the cloud infrastructure that will power the next generation of play. “We’re excited to be a part of the Jazwares story,” says Johnson. “We believe that cloud infrastructure will be the engine that drives innovation in the toy industry for years to come.” About AMPERE Computing LLC: AMPERE Computing LLC, located at 4655 Great America Parkway, Suite 601, Santa Clara, CA 95054-1236, United States (815-858-7063), is a leading provider of cloud infrastructure solutions.
