Social Gaming Applications

If you are in the business of building social games, you understand the importance of speed to market for new game concepts and the challenges of managing IT through a game’s life cycle. You also understand that game players can be fickle with favorites changing from week to week — meaning your application traffic can fluctuate widely. The time of day, seasonality, promotions, popularity, and viral success can all drive unexpected volumes. While you can anticipate and plan for some dynamic change, few of us guess right all the time. As a result, maximizing the economies of your application during cycles of runaway success all the way through end of life is crucial.

The RightScale Social Gaming Solution Pack provides a sophisticated cloud management platform for deploying and managing your games on the cloud throughout their life cycle. With the Social Gaming Solution Pack you can get your application up and running on the cloud in less than an hour. Once your application is running you will have full automation and expert management for large volume, highly elastic social and online gaming applications.
