Gaming Production in the Cloud — Build Games Better
Keeping Designers, Developers and Platforms Connected — From Game Design to Gold Master
Building great games requires great collaboration. Game designers, developers, graphic artists and other specialists must be able to share files easily — especially from remote locations, between global partners and different kinds of storage.
Whether it’s sending game builds to testers, enabling remote artists to access graphics packages, or exchanging project files with partners — anywhere your massive, high-value assets need to flow — the Signiant Platform and the cloud offers great efficiency to game developers of all sizes.
Transferring game builds typically requires sharing huge files across multiple sites that can be literally anywhere. The complexity increases exponentially when adding the various platform conversions required — Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC and mobile, etc. — and undergoing rigorous testing and quality assurance processes, marketing efforts and distribution tasks. The sheer number of partners, endpoints, assets, and asset sizes necessitates a greater need for a file transfer solution that simplifies the process.
The Signiant Platform’s Cloud Advantage
What exactly are the cloud synergies created with the Signiant Platform? First, the Signiant Platform is cloud-native. Its control plane runs entirely in the cloud and is designed to be autoscaling, multi-tenent and is built with resilience across regions. The platform connects to any type of storage, on-prem or in the cloud, and supports the three major cloud providers — AWS, Azure and Google Cloud along with many other innovators like Wasabi. Wherever assets are stored, the Signiant Platform makes it easy to connect all your necessary constituents, including employees, partners, platform providers, distributors, marketing agencies, etc. Signiant’s design attributes emphasize security, reliability and performance, making any of your storage transparent and easy to access. End-user experiences are identical when using on-premises or cloud storage.

“Without Signiant, we wouldn’t be able to collaborate between our studios, which is an essential part of the global game development work we do at Ubisoft.”
Li Xiao Song, Ubisoft’s Service Manager
