Mobile Game on the Cloud
A scalable, highly available, and disaster-resistant cloud infrastructure for enhanced user experience
Introduction Recommended Solution Architecture
Organizations require a platform that is scalable, cost effective,
and highly available in order to cater to the growing needs of
mobile game fanatics. Minimal latency (or acceleration) with
servers laid out internationally in an efficient and uninterrupted
manner is a prerequisite to effectively accelerate online global
gaming.
Background
For most organizations, cost overhead greatly increases due
to overprovisioning of resources when their infrastructure
is not on the cloud. They need a stable, highly available, and
disaster-resistant mobile gaming cloud solution that enables
development of advanced and unique games with better user
experience in a cost-effective manner. Growth of the gaming
business and cloud environment go hand in hand, empowering
organizations to spin capacity up or down, while only paying
for what is consumed. In an age of unpredictable demand,
transitioning gaming applications to the cloud drives down
hardware and upgrade costs due to a “Pay-As-You-Go” or
subscription model.
