Hyve Solutions Consults on Riot Games’ Next Generation Gaming Platform Using Open Compute Project Datacenter Solutions
Jan. 16, 2013 01:01 PM
Hyve
Solutions, a division of SYNNEX
Corporation (NYSE: SNX) and a leading provider of Open
Compute Project (OCP) solutions, today announced that Riot
Games, a leading online PC game developer and publisher, selected
Hyve Solutions to consult on the adoption and implementation of OCP
hardware solutions within its datacenter environment.
After touring Hyve Solutions’ OCP lab and manufacturing facility in
Fremont, Calif., discussions between the two companies began. Deeper
technical conversations followed as Hyve Solutions worked with Riot
Games engineers to tailor an OCP solution that would meet Riot Games’
needs around scalability, reliability, cost efficiency, and
environmental responsibility in datacenters.
“Ultimately, our investment in OCP provides an even better player
experience for the more than 12 million core gamers who play League
of Legends every day," said Ron Williams, Riot Games' Vice President
of Operations. “We especially like the vanity-free aspect of OCP–by
eliminating unnecessary components, plastic, paint and overhead, we're
able to spend more of our technical dollar where it counts–on
performance that will translate into an even more responsive and fun
in-game environment.”
“This experience shows that OCP solutions can be designed, validated and
deployed within a very short time frame–less than three months from
discovery to delivery of a fully integrated, plug-and-play production
solution,” said Steve Ichinaga, Senior Vice President and General
Manager of Hyve Solutions. “Riot Games is the first gaming company we've
helped utilize the benefits of OCP. Additionally, we are focusing on
delivering custom server and storage solutions that are optimized for
Riot Games’ growth trajectory, workload and environment.”
