Title: | Migrating an MMO Back-end Infrastructure to the Cloud: a Perspective | Authors: | QUAX, Peter VANMONTFORT, Wouter MARX, Robin LAMOTTE, Wim |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | ACM | Source: | Proceedings of International Workshop on Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVE 2014). | Abstract: | Many application providers are currently moving their backend infrastructure to centralized data centers instead of hosting their own servers. Typically, the IaaS cloud model is most suitable for this type of application, as it provides customers with virtualized hardware that can be utilized as desired, not hindered by platform restrictions or platform-specific programming languages. A similar construct is not yet very prevalent in the MMO community, although some solutions are slowly appearing in the market. In this short description to go along with a poster presentation, some findings of ongoing research projects on these topics are highlighted, including a discussion of metrics that are relevant for successful MMO deployment and a preview of benchmark results obtained on a commercially available IaaS cloud infrastructure. Some of the most important pitfalls associated with the cloud revolution are also identi ed and discussed. More detailed information and benchmarks are made freely available on the project website mentioned at the end of this paper. | Keywords: | massive multiplayer on-line games; scalability; cloud | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/16570 | ISBN: | 9781450327084 | DOI: | 10.1145/2577387.2577393 | Rights: | Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.
