  Abbreviated White Paper as of September 17, 2004

  ABSTRACT

  This document describes the IGAME approach to Massively Multiplayer 
  Online Game (MMOG) servers.  This proprietary method reduces 
  infrastructure requirements currently imposed on MMOGs by over 95%!

  DEFINITIONS USED IN THIS DOCUMENT:

  MMOG - Massively Multiplayer Online Game 
  SERVER - a single server box containing multiple CPUs 
  CLUSTER - a group of many servers boxes working together

  BACKGROUND

  The Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) market is exploding in 
  the gaming industry. The current industry reached $600 million in 
  2002 in the U.S. alone and it will reach $1.5 billion by 2006. 
  Globally, the MMOG market is expected to reach $3.2 billion by 2006.

  Current solutions are hardware and network intensive � requiring 
  hundreds or thousands of clustered servers in a redundant network. 
  Each server box can handle 200-300 players.  100,000 online players 
  require upwards of 300 server boxes and an additional 300 redundant 
  server boxes for fail over.  The cost in computer hardware, network 
  hardware, power, air conditioning and skilled personnel is very high 
  -- and negatively affects bottom line profits!

  THE IGAME SOLUTION

  The IGAME technology increases the number of players per box from 
  200-300 per box to over 10,000 per box!  Handling 100,000 online 
  players will require just 10 server boxes (20 including fail-over 
  boxes).  This represents over a 95% reduction in overhead -- and 
  produces a very positive bottom line impact!
