MMO games, social networks and online services based on user interaction are all directly dependant on their infrastructure. Our job is to fine-tune the software and the IT systems that the infrastructure depends on.

This work consists of defining the functional organisation and the interactions between the different software applications which constitute the product. This way of working enables us to anticipate load increases and define the operating budget of the service according to production constraints and business model. Our job is to support you on an ongoing basis or through individual operational design phases.

MMO

Hasgard lets you create infrastructures capable of exceeding the current limits in terms of the number of simultaneous users. To make this possible we use HPC technologies (High Performance Computing) from the scientific world. These technologies require in some case a recoding of existing game servers, but allow you to go beyond the processing capacity of more classic infrastructures. The main problem with MMO games is the real time interaction between users. Standard Ethernet-based server architectures limit the parallel processing capacity (on average 7000 users per server). Today, our expertise allows us to offer you infrastructures which allow us to envisage the management of several hundreds of millions of users.
