About NZXT
About NZXT
NZXT is a leading manufacturer in the gaming hardware industry, specializing in high-performance gaming PCs and essential peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and microphones. We’re huge fans. Some of the bunny team own more than two NZXT gaming rigs.
So why does a PC manufacturer use bunny.net? To keep those cool gaming rigs spinning, NZXT delivers monthly optimization updates to their 1 million users using their CAM software. NZXT came to bunny.net in early 2023 looking for a better monthly distribution rate, but got so much more.
The Challenges
The Challenges
To keep those cool custom gaming rigs running crisp, lag-free games, NZXT releases monthly software updates to users around the globe. These deployments became expensive under their old CDN. NZXT needed to deploy 30-100 megabytes of data per installer. That amounted to more than 30 terabytes of data every month.
NZXT first reduced the bandwidth load, deploying differential updates - or only updating the differences between the new and old versions - but even with reduced bandwidth, deployment costs remained a significant issue. Despite the costs, the NZXT team wasn’t willing to sacrifice their product’s quality to cut costs.
Whatever change NZXT made, they needed something that could handle the traffic and wouldn’t affect customer experience.
"BunnyCDN has been a reliable service that significantly decreased our monthly spend to globally distribute NZXT CAM, the PC performance application that powers our NZXT products. With BunnyCDN's statistics and logging dashboards, we’ve been able to easily verify and monitor our deployment processes in real-time. Thank you, bunny.net!"

The Solution
The Solution
NZXT came to bunny.net in 2023. We made the switch easy for them. Once they switched, the NZXT team was pleased by how easy our dashboard was to use. Integrating bunny.net with their update platform was so easy that NZXT configured BunnyCDN in a few minutes.
Plus, our dashboard helped them level up their deployments with useful metrics that NZXT incorporated into their deployment validation. NZXT rarely had an issue that required a call to tech support, but our Super Bunny support stayed on standby to make the switch even easier.
The Results
The Results
NZXT came to bunny.net to save on monthly overhead and stayed for the great service. NZXT could have integrated BunnyCDN and forgotten about it. Instead, they found a cool new power-up: our dashboard became a useful monitoring tool, helping the NZXT team to verify the success of each deployment.
Now, in addition to delivering software updates, they use us to track their beta releases. We impressed them with our service, and, of course, we saved them more than 50% on monthly fees.
