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:
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
