How OpenStack will power Sony’s Online Games for PlayStation 4
The upcoming release of Sony’s PlayStation 4 is one of the most hotly anticipated technology events of the year, and behind the launch, OpenStack will power Sony’s popular online games.
After completing a successful proof of concept with Rackspace Private Cloud, Sony was drawn to the flexibility OpenStack offered over physical hosting and manual setup. This has allowed Sony to save time and money when deploying hundreds of online game environments every year.
Join Jim Curry of Rackspace and Monique Fraser, Director, Global Hosting Services, Sony, as they discuss:
1. What attracted Sony to OpenStack
2. How Sony prepared existing staff for the transition from physical hosting to OpenStack
3. What performance and cost benefits Sony is experiencing
4. What the company would like to see from OpenStack in the future
5. The coolest games running on OpenStack when PlayStation 4 launches
You’ll leave this session inspired at how OpenStack is playing a vital role for one of the world’s foremost technology leaders and how it’s helping PlayStation 4 in its quest to become “The Best Place to Play.”

PlayStation Brings on Rackspace Talent to Help With “OpenStack Private Cloud Deployment”
August 9, 2013 Written by Sebastian Moss
The ‘power of the cloud’ has been quoted numerous times by both Microsoft and Sony as we get closer to the launch of the Xbox One and PS4. Much of the debate has focused on Microsoft’s assertion that the cloud will make the Xbox One noticeably more powerful, but many have disputed it, while Sony has said that it is possible, but limited. Meanwhile, other important cloud features include Microsoft’s cheap dedicated servers for developers – which we want on PS4 – cloud saves, and, of course, Sony’s Gaikai cloud game streaming.
So, as you can see, ‘the cloud’ will be very important next gen, which is why today’s news that PSLS has uncovered is so interesting.
Rackspace – the open cloud company that recently announced plans to partner with CERN on cloud computing – will be helping Sony out with their PlayStation cloud plans.
Lanham Napier, CEO of Rackspace, said in an earnings call (transcribed by SeekingAlpha) that Sony is now an “enterprise customer” for the company, continuing:
"Sony PlayStation recently signed a services agreement with Rackspace, under which our developers and architects will be consulting and supporting the PlayStation team with their OpenStack private cloud deployment."
Elsewhere he said:
"We are the Founder and a key leader of the OpenStack cloud ecosystem, and we are the leader in providing OpenStack-based private clouds."
OpenStack is a cloud computing project to “provide an infrastructure as a service”, jointly created by Rackspace and NASA, with it’s website saying:
"OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. The project aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being simple to implement, massively scalable, and feature rich."
The scale of Sony’s cloud plans have yet to be seen, but are you excited that Sony is bringing on one of the cloud industry’s best companies to help?

Rackspace Hosting Management Discusses Q2 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript: http://seekingalpha.com/article/1621862-rackspace-hosting-management-discusses-q2-2013-results-earnings-call-transcript?all=true&find=Sony+PlayStation
Rackspace to Help Sony PlayStation Deploy OpenStack Private Cloud
Justin Lee on August 9, 2013
Web hosting and cloud hosting provider Rackspace announced Friday in an earnings call it recently signed an agreement with Sony PlayStation in which its “developers and architects will be consulting and supporting the PlayStation team with their OpenStack private cloud deployment.”
The move comes a few weeks after Rackspace launched a free Rackspace Cloud Assessment tool to help businesses decide what their cloud and technology needs to help them effectively migrate to Windows Server 2012.
The partnership comes just months before Sony’s upcoming launch of its heavily-anticipated new gaming system, PS4.
A sufficient and secure cloud network is crucial for PlayStation, especially when considering the April 2011 security breach of the PlayStation servers.
The breach caused a month-long outage of its PlayStation Network, resulting in a loss of revenue of at least $171 million for the company.
Rackspace will be helping Sony with the design and deployment of its PlayStation cloud plans.
In the earnings call, Rackspace CEO Lanham Napier said that Sony is now an “enterprise customer”, but remained otherwise tight-lipped about the partnership’s details.
OpenStack, a project Rackspace jointly created with NASA, is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing an open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds.
The OpenStack project celebrated its three year anniversary last month.

But why not? If dude says theoretically, with some r&d, azure can be made to do exactly what gaikai does, then that would mean theoretically gaikai could be made to host multiplayer games with some r&dNo it can't. It's a different concept. Sony would need to add thousands of servers to gaikai to even come close to what azure can offer.
It looks like Sony is going to be discussing "How OpenStack will power Sony’s Online Games for PlayStation 4" at the OpenStack Summit, November 5-8, in Hong Kong:
1 of the Youtube channels I follow (RedGamingTech) did an informative video on this subject:
What exactly does azure offer again?No it can't. It's a different concept. Sony would need to add thousands of servers to gaikai to even come close to what azure can offer.
maybe. look here's the truth, no stanning whats so ever. these companies have enough money to copy off of each others success. right now MS is ahead of the game with the cloud being used to ASSIST multiplayer games. thats a fact. at the same token ps4 is ahead of the game where you can stream games via gaikai. but we already know ps4 actually wasnt ahead of the game. pre xbox about face on the drm stuff. they also had a method where people had libraries of content in the ...cloud somewhere. so everyone could access it. everyone being those on your friends/family list. so its the same thing as what ps4 is doing in that regard.Wouldnt that mean gaikai could be used as dedicated servers also?
again sure it COULD.but how long would it take? R&D takes a long time. making sure you have the infrastructure of servers all over the world. would take a minute. MS is already there.But why not? If dude says theoretically, with some r&d, azure can be made to do exactly what gaikai does, then that would mean theoretically gaikai could be made to host multiplayer games with some r&d
