Background
Starting next year,
5G (5th generation) network operation will commence, further increasing
achievable speeds and connection counts. For games and many
applications, stable and high speed server technology is required. In
order to provide network and server technologies more easily our company
has been promoting cloud computing for server solutions. We have
developed "Strix Cloud" - a highly scalable solution for online game
development.
About Strix Cloud
Strix Cloud
is a cloud version of "STRIX ENGINE" - a server solution developed for
real-time action MMO games. With Strix Cloud it is possible to create a
real-time server with just one click. Server development is very easy,
as only simple modifications are required. Some of its strengths include
the ability to process large numbers of messages at high speed and
simultaneously connect a lot of users, which makes it viable for online
games with near real-time nature.
The released Strix Cloud ver
1.0.0 contains Unity tools for easier client-side development. By using
them the online game creation becomes very easy.
[Features of Strix Cloud]

same interface.

high-speed processing of messages

action ones.
