Fantasy Sports may be a new and controversial industry but it is gaining a lot of ground-and fast. A user can choose players and make a team as per the rules of a platform and have a live-parallel experience while a real-time match is on. Imagine the kind of availability and uptime that one would need to ensure this platform delivers the fun and excitement users come in for (which is a primary motivator for 72 per cent users-as per KPMG). Interestingly, this data also shows that 85 per cent users play fantasy sports on mobile apps. Can a platform afford to have the lights out when a game as torrid, thumb-heavy and as nail-biting as this is on? Cloud can be a fantasy-come-true for a Fantasy Sports major but even then-Cloud is not an elixir. And just because Sports is a 24/7 industry, does not mean that players have to be awake all night fighting fires.
