Amazon GameLift Anywhere

Hybrid game hosting with Amazon GameLift Anywhere integration

Gaming companies can now leverage the full suite of Amazon GameLift’s APIs, matchmaking services, and global session placement features to integrate i3D.net’s bare metal infrastructure seamlessly. With this integration, you can easily combine managed fleets across AWS locations with additional capacity from i3D.net’s vast global infrastructure. 

As the first bare metal provider to support Amazon GameLift Anywhere, i3D.net takes care of all the automation requirements, from build deployments to logging and session authentication for your bare metal fleet within GameLift Anywhere. This makes hybrid game server hosting as easy as fully managed Amazon GameLift on EC2 instances.

Key features and benefits

1. Improved player experience

Host your game servers in the optimal location with the lowest latency possible for your players. The i3D.net network backbone, which includes advanced network acceleration, ensures that your game servers run smoothly on i3D.net’s bare metal infrastructure. Additionally, integrated DDoS protection keeps your players’ sessions secure and uninterrupted.

2. Increased regional availability

Gain access to over 60+ Points of Presence (PoPs) on top of Amazon GameLift’s 24 Regions and 9 local zones. With i3D.net, you can fine-tune your regional control and have more flexibility in selecting where your game servers are hosted, ensuring even better coverage for your players.

3. No SDK or integration work needed

Continue using the Amazon GameLift SDK and ecosystem without any major adjustments. The integration works seamlessly, requiring no additional implementation—allowing you to get started with minimal technical effort.

4. Cost-efficiency through dual vendor approach

This integration lets you utilize a dual vendor setup, enabling you to configure your game hosting environment based on your specific priorities—whether it’s latency, cost, fleet location, or destination. You can define the priority order for these attributes to optimize your hosting strategy. Additionally, you can take advantage of i3D.net’s cost-effective bare metal servers to lower hosting expenses for your base CCU levels, while preserving the flexibility of the cloud for surges by scaling player traffic into amazon’s cloud instances.

5. Redundant game server environments

By combining i3D.net bare metal servers with Amazon GameLift Anywhere, you significantly increase fault tolerance. Hosting across multiple providers means your game is less likely to experience player disruptions. You can easily shift capacity between i3D.net and Amazon to mitigate any location or provider-specific issues.

6. Fully automated deployment

i3D.net provides full automation for your hybrid hosting setup. The entire process of deploying your game build, managing server startup tokens, handling logging, and session authentication is automated, making it simple to use bare metal within the GameLift ecosystem.
