Thursday, June 21 2007 02:53 PM

Linden Lab, the creator of Second Life, is looking to to scale its network to cope with the virtual world's average growth of between 20 and 40 percent a month, says the company's CTO Cory Ondrejka.
And because some 72 percent of Second Life residents are located outside the United States, Linden Lab is exploring the possibility of hosting servers in foreign markets to ensure latency will not be an issue for its users.
Catch this ZDNet Asia interview with Ondrejka, to find out how enterprises in Asia can benefit from setting up presence in Second Life.
This clip was recorded during the imbX 2007 exhibition and conference, held in Singapore from Jun. 19 to Jun. 22 this year.
