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:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
