Gaming ChallengesAs multiplayer game companies look for further growth opportunities,AWS Outposts provides a truly consistent hybrid experiencekeeping a seamless customer experience is paramount. To achieve this, thereto meet a team’s development challenges as wellare some specific key challenges to address:as the technical latency demands of gamers.Fast and smooth in-game experienceThese are the most critical aspect of gameplay among allgamers today, not just eSports players. But even if game5As a managed service Outposts gives yourteam more time to concentrate on makingexceptional multiplayer titles.application servers are deployed in multiple AWS Regions,players in locations far from the server will not experience thesame low-latency benefits.Teams’ competing development prioritiesTeams need to be able to focus on developing unique games,not ‘undifferentiated heavy lifting’ (IT work that doesn’tadd value).Growing developer demandsAs games get bigger and target more platforms, buildprocesses require more compute and storage resources. Betterworkflow comes from removing such undifferentiated heavylifting, which means it’s a faster and smoother pathto deployment.5

What are AWS Outposts?AWS Services run Locallyon OutpostsAWS Outposts is a fully managed service that offers the same AWSinfrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any data center,Run AWS compute and storage, and other AWS services on Outposts.colocation space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent Intel-powered EC2 instance typeshybrid experience.An Outpost is an industry-standard 42Urack. It’s installed, managed, monitored, andpatched by AWS, allowing you to focus oncreating amazing games.

Outpost validated partner offeringsProtect and enrich the player experience by integratingwith Outposts Partner offerings, like Veritas, Pure Storage,Sisense, CyberArk, AppDynamics, ScyllaDB and Confluent,that have been validated on AWS.7

Use Case: Reduce CloudGaming LatencySolution – Deploy close to players onAWS OutpostsProblem – Latency too high (servers far from gamers)enabling low-latency multiplayer sessions and other benefits:Your new online multiplayer game is taking off in several emerging markets – You choose the locationsYou deploy your game on AWS Outposts at locations close to players,but your nearest multiplayer servers are thousands of miles away. You want toAWS Outposts can be deployed in virtually any data center, colocationgive players there a fun experience. But they can’t compete on a level playingspace or on-premises facility in the world.field, because latency is preventing them from reacting quickly to in-gameevents. Players can be vocal about the problem in online communities and ifplay isn’t smooth and immersive your game’s success could be limited by that. Migration is easyWorkloads that run in the AWS Region usually require only a fewchanges and can be moved to AWS Outposts within a few hours. Access what AWS Regions offerAWS Outposts is a highly suited hardware solution for this use case.It provides the same services, APIs, and tools as in AWS Regions. Outposts’compute is powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors which aredesigned with Intel Mesh Architecture, maximizing performance whileenabling consistent, low latencies. Fully managed serviceAWS manages, monitors, and updates your Outposts racks for you. It’seasier than deploying standard servers and as reliable as you expectAWS to be.8

Which Type of Storage do you Need?Amazon EBSAWS Outposts can be configured with EBS storage in tiersup to 55TB. So, you have as much storage as you needfor workloads such as Perforce version control. Outpostsprovides snapshot and restore capabilities and lets youincrease volume size without any performance impact.All EBS volumes and snapshots on Outposts are fullyencrypted by default.Amazon S3Amazon’s object storage (S3) is now available withAWS Outposts too. Using S3 APIs developers can storeand retrieve data in the same way they would accessor use data in a regular AWS Region. When configuringan Outpost you can add 48TB or 96TB of S3 storagecapacity, and you can create up to 100 buckets oneach Outpost.9

Next StepsThe global video games market continues to grow bigger and more competitive, with billions ofplayers who expect fast online experiences. Game development also keeps getting more resourceintensive. With AWS Outposts you can focus on creating unique experiences, scale to meet newdemands easily, and solve latency challenges by deploying multiplayer servers anywhere.1. Engage2. Choose3.
