At the GDC last week, Sun Microsystems shared details about its Project Darsktar that is a variation of its Sun Grid to gain an entry in the online gaming industry.
It expressed that its rentable computing infrastructure can be really good for those who are interested to set up massive online games.
According to the project side,
Project Darkstar is a research effort aimed at simplifying the process of developing multiplayer online games that can be deployed on a massive scale and made available to players using virtually any client device.
Anyway, the Sun Game Server is the first technology coming from the project that is designed to 'run any game in conjunction with gamers using any kind of gaming device'.
