Are there lumps to come in the big-league days ahead? Go Back to Top. Weigh in: All eyes are on the rookie private cloud now. We’ve built custom monitoring and management tools and utilize highly-available storage architectures to duplicate data before migrations. We’ve created our own automation tools for large server environments. Now that we own the base, and rent the spike, so to speak, we’re re-architecting the ways our games operate within our own infrastructure. Zynga’s hybrid cloud architecture still leverages the public cloud, but it’s predominantly supported by zCloud. Leinwand says Zynga’s zCloud is still a hybrid cloud, but zCloud is now in the driver’s seat: And so this is where all of our suite comes together and this is how we make money. And they needed CloudStack and XenServer and all this stuff underneath it. And so they have basically built what they call a zCloud, a Zynga cloud, that is an Amazon style cloud on premise on our stuff. But once they did know, then you can actually build capacity to it. What they didn’t know, if I put out a game, was I going to get a million users, 10 million users, 50 million users? They had no idea. They were spending literally north of a $100 million a year renting infrastructure from Amazon. Zynga was Amazon’s single largest customer. Sameer Dholakia, general manager of cloud platforms at Citrix, is reported to have said at a conference last month: Why? Zynga is using Citrix’s XenServer and Cloudstack to deliver its services. ZDNet points out it’s also game on for Citrix:Ĭitrix executives have been talking up Zynga as a reference customer for quite some time. Online gamers are set to benefit, but so are vendors are looking to ride this big private cloud shift. ![]() zCloud became a sports car that’s finely tuned for games. Systems that took us days to set up instead took minutes. We’ve optimized storage operations and networking throughput for social gaming. We worked on provisioning and automation tools to make zCloud event faster and easier to set up. For example, where our games in the public cloud would require three physical servers, zCloud only uses one. For social games specifically, zCloud offers 3x the efficiency of standard public cloud infrastructure. We turned zCloud into a faster and more automated system. Is zCloud up to the job? CTO Allan Leinwand writes in the Zynga Engineering blog:īetween 20, we increased our physical server capacity by two orders of magnitude. Zynga will soon enable Platform partners to leverage the technology that Zynga built specifically for creating and scaling social games.” How big is it? “Zynga Platform partners will have access to the 240 million monthly active users who currently play Zynga games by publishing and promoting them across the Zynga network.” “Zynga’s infrastructure operates as a platform that serves the company’s entire lineup of games and studios worldwide…. It will allow players to log in with their Facebook ID and easily play games with their existing Facebook friends, as well as other people who love to play the same games,” the company said in its press release.īigger-league yet is that will act as a games platform for third-party developers. “ is one of the first sites to be totally integrated with Facebook as an extension of the companies’ strong and collaborative partnership. is the new home away from AWS, and its popular Ville-games on Facebook will also run on zCloud. Zynga’s zCloud move got attention here at Cloudline for its shift away from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to shoulder the heavy compute lifting, and now the attention is turning to whether zCloud can play up in the big league with as gaming platform. The online game giant Zynga is getting its game on as it prepares to roll out its internal cloud-based Zynga Platform, which it outlined on Thursday. ![]() Now all of its games will be hosted internally on zCloud. With FarmVille, Zynga turned to AWS's public cloud. ![]()
