Technology
Exit Games provides MMOG middleware technology. The core of Exit Games' technology is the network engine and socket server "Exit Games Photon" which allows the development of scalable and robust online games. This is offered as client and server SDKs which include libraries for various platforms - such as Unity, iOS, Android, Flash, Silverlight, MeeGo and more -, code samples and documentation.
Since all libraries connect to the same backend using the same commands and logics, cross-platform interactivity is possible, i.e., communication between different variants of an application running on various platforms (e.g. iOS vs. Browser vs. Android).
Photon's core is built on native C/C++ for performance reasons, while custom server-code is written in C#/.Net. Photon provides a reliability layer on top of UDP (RUDP) which can be switched-on/off on a per event basis.
Photon can be hosted in the cloud, e.g. Amazon EC2.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
