Global Gambling Technology Company Leverages InfluxDB for Visibility and Early Detection of System Outages, Network Anomalies and Security Breaches

SAN FRANCISCO — Nov. 6, 2018 — InfluxData, a modern Open Source Platform built specifically for metrics, events and other time series data that empowers developers to build next-generation monitoring, analytics and IoT applications, today announced that Playtech has deployed its InfluxDB Time Series Database for improved network observability for a deeper understanding of system behavior and causes, relationships between system components, and needed actions of its distributed global gaming network.

Playtech is the gambling industry’s leading technology company delivering business intelligence driven gambling software, services, content and platform technology across the industry’s most popular product verticals – including casinos, sports betting, virtual sports, bingo and poker. It is the pioneer of omni-channel gambling technology through its integrated platform technology, Playtech ONE, which delivers data-driven marketing expertise, single wallet functionality, CRM and responsible gambling solutions in one single platform across product verticals, retail and online. The company has approximately 5,800 employees in 17 global offices, with more than $1B in revenues.

“Due to the high complexity and the huge amounts of adjustable settings of our system, we decided to build it as a set of microservices which allows us to define the responsibilities of each component, perform distributed deployments, and monitor all this activity with InfluxDB,” said Aleksandr Tavgen, technical architect at Playtech. “Before InfluxData we didn’t have insight into non-obvious behavior of users. Now we track and monitor our partners and their end users in real time, looking for behavior changes and gathering important metrics from the data to prevent outages and malicious behavior.”
