Architecture

SCInterface has a unique architecture that provides optimal flexibility. We consider flexibility a fundamental component and it encompasses the entire product from our software architecture to the licensing model. The software architecture for SCInterface is simplified below by dividing it into three core components. The diagram below depicts the essential operation of each component, providing a clear vision why SCInterface is #1 in game server control panel market.

  1. UI (User Interface)
  2. SCM (SCInterface Control Manager)
  3. SC (SCInterface Controller)

The main objective of the SCInterface architecture is to have little or no impact on the performance of the game server, while maintaining an easy to use interface and ability to manage many game servers through a single user interface. Traditional control panels do not recognize that performance of the game server is the most critical issue when maintaining a game server.

Accessible Game Server Control

Also affectionately called 'skin-terface' by our developers, the term interface was used to highlight the unique and robust capabilities of SCInterface. From the Graphical User Interface (GUI) perspective, SCInterface provides an game server control panel that can be accessed from nearly anywhere through any type of device. From the web, desktop or PDAs, the quantity and type of interfaces to which the SCInterface architecture can be ported are limitless. Regarding control, the SC provides the critical interaction to control any application regardless of the platform, location or capabilities. These interfaces provide GSPs with the proven infrastructure to create or expand a premier game server hosting business.

SCInterface is the complete solution for any organization with the need for a comprehensive way to manage their game hosting needs within a large data center or distributed throughout the world. A single interface can be accessed from anywhere to configure or maintain any server located anywhere in the world.

Proof of Concept: IconGamer - On-Demand Gaming Service

IconGamer uses SCInterface. The IconGamer service allows online gamers to setup, configure, and host a multiplayer game within minutes. Another exceptional feature of SCInterface is the ability to provide gaming on-demand, that's right gaming-on-demand! Traditionally, this kind of on-demand server control has been unavailable in the marketplace. That's why IconGamer is one of the most talked about services in the GSP market.

We developed IconGamer to show how SCInterface can be used to control multiple resource-intensive game servers, on multiple platforms, with multiple users and still provide a secure interface for control and deployment. IconGamer is a great example of how the three-tier architecture of SCInterface provides the #1 solution for any organization.
