XL Games and Intel: Increasing the Capacity for Fun with Online Resources
Solution Profile: Increasing the Capacity for Fun with Massive Online Resources
XL Games is consolidating functions onto fewer servers while delivering a richer, more immersive player experience with the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family.
In its bid to expand the horizons of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), XL Games is developing its new title, ArcheAge*, for both stunning gameplay and innovative use of system resources. In place of the standard approach of deploying separate two-processor systems for the game server and AI server, XL Games plans to deploy both functions on the same four-processor system.
Challenge
Provide an immersive MMORPG user experience and also reduce the complexity of the hosting environment, protect against service outages, and enhance security.
Solution
XL Games has targeted four-way servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family as the target deployment platform for its upcoming title, ArcheAge. The company continues intensive work on optimizing the game’s animation update logic to improve utilization of the hardware resources, allowing the game to offer its players larger numbers of intricate non-player characters (NPCs) and more complex AI.
Customer Benefit
Consolidating the game server and AI server onto a single system reduces communication overhead, helping realize better game responsiveness and a more immersive environment. XL Games expects the platform’s reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features to help ensure smooth consolidation.
