Is Gaming Changing the Storage Architecture Landscape?

The gaming industry is rapidly growing and so is the need for extreme high performance high capacity storage. Gaming storage requirements are driving new storage architectures and technologies to their limits from loading to playing to archiving. Recent advances in cloud technology have turned the idea of cloud gaming into a reality. Cloud gaming, in its simplest form, renders an interactive gaming application remotely in the cloud and streams the scenes as a video sequence back to the player over the Internet. This is an advantage for less powerful computational devices that are otherwise incapable of running high-quality games. This session will discuss real world performance with different types of games, for performance, interaction latency, and streaming quality. Revealing critical challenges toward the widespread deployment of cloud gaming and their storage requirements for best user experience.
