Why the hyperscale cloud bubble is bursting by Isaac Douglas – servers.com

Born and bred on the internet, iGaming, along with everything else that has been developed in the last decade, can only exist because of the technology - in this case online gambling technology - that sits behind it. When you go to spin the roulette wheel or place your bet online on a live football game, it’s an iGaming platform and the services it supports that enables that action to take place.

As anyone in the online gambling technology world will know, the hosting needs of an iGaming platform are complex. The iGaming platform needs to enable the delivery of thousands of different games - both virtual and live, thanks to the rise in live dealer studios - to millions of people around the world. They must do so in a way that provides a seamless experience.

And while we can’t see them physically, iGaming platforms whether accessed via a website or an app, don’t just exist in a vacuum - they must ‘live’ somewhere: this is where reliable, available, and secure server infrastructure provided by a hosting provider comes in.

In this blog, we’ll explore what online gambling technology looks like and what iGaming platform providers should consider when choosing a hosting partner.

Gambling has been a popular pastime for centuries – and now in the internet age, placing a wager is easier than ever. Online gambling also known as iGaming, offers a range of options for people who enjoy betting and gambling, without the need to visit a physical location. Indeed, many established physical casinos have had to make their games accessible online to engage with an all-new digital-first audience.

With the world of gambling entering the digital age, what are the differences between casino gaming online and the more traditional land-based casino and how do hosting requirements differ with gambling going online? Let’s explore.

There is a discussion on Reddit posing the question - why do good games fail?. One of the most popular responses argues that “players don’t have…to justify the flaws of every game and look for the good aspects - exactly the opposite, there are so many games that players primarily look for flaws”. 

And one of the biggest flaws or issues that gamers can face is high latency or ping - the two key measures of performance. We’re talking failed downloads, video start failures, packet loss, buffering - milliseconds (a thousandth of a second) of lag or delay that can ruin a players’ experience. Imagine that you’re playing Call of Duty and you have seen an opponent but in the time that you’ve aimed and fired they’ve moved position because your experience of the game is a couple of milliseconds behind. It is understandably frustrating and gamers are not afraid to let the world know about their frustrations on forums and social media such as Reddit, Discord and Twitter. So, while latency and ping may just be measures of a game’s performance, they can also be crucial factors to the success or demise of a game.

At the most basic level, a server is a high-performance computer. As the name suggests, a computing server is designed specifically to ‘serve’ multiple users simultaneously.

There are several different types of servers that are used for a wide variety of applications. In this article we will explain what they do and why you might need one.

Worldwide blockchain adoption is growing. That growth relies on access to reliable infrastructure services and development tools.

Back in November 2020 when Bware Labs was founded, reliable infrastructure was hard to come by. In fact, it was an issue that many developers were facing when it came to blockchain access, and API provider failures were widely accepted within the Web3 industry.

Centralization was also rife. Even now, centralized providers still make up the majority of the infrastructure market.

Bware Labs’ mission is, simply put, ambitious: to create an all-encompassing development platform where blockchain builders can get easy access to everything they need to build in the Web3 space, including the highest quality infrastructure services in the industry.

Importantly, infrastructure needs to be decentralized. This means that Bware Labs works with a number of different bare metal node providers. servers.com is one of them – both for hosting Bware Labs’ own API platform, Blast, and as a recommended bare metal infrastructure provider for Bware Lab’s customers.

While it may have caused many things to be put on hold, the pandemic was the catalyst for the birth of a new game server hosting and rental company - Indifferent Broccoli. After deciding to take a year out from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, founder Jake Gaba wanted to put what he’d already learned into practice with an entrepreneurial project.

Rather than starting from scratch, Jake decided to buy a business in the space that he had a passion for and purchased a video game server hosting business. Originally called 7d2dserverhosting.com, the business as it was provided hosting solutions for survival horde crafting game 7 Days to Die.

Jake wanted to diversify his offering so expanded into providing server hosting and rental for survival game Valheim with vikingserverhosting.com. Seeing success with the two websites, the next natural step for Jake was to set up a central hub that he could build on and add support for different games. With that step, Indifferent Broccoli was born.

Today, Indifferent Broccoli provides gamers with private game server hosting and rental for ten popular games and counting. But how did it get there?

As the two main forms of infrastructure hosting available to businesses, how a bare metal server compares to a cloud server is a key question companies should be considering when looking to source infrastructure. Your business requirements will determine which one is right for you. In some cases, it could be a mix of both.

To help companies make a more informed decision, we have put together a comprehensive overview of each type of server, including their strengths and weaknesses, and what kind of businesses and services they best lend themselves.

But before we kick off with the difference between the two, let’s start with what a server is and a quick history of hosting.
