Your Developer-First Multiplayer Server Orchestration Platform

We are excited to introduce the most comprehensive, seamless multiplayer server orchestration platform to date: GameFabric by Nitrado.

Who is GameFabric for? Everyone who creates multiplayer and online connected games.

Get started today.

We’ve been in this industry since 2001, and over the last two decades we’ve fought the hard fights, learned the hard lessons, and seen competitors rise and fall. For ours is a hard problem to solve: how do you provide the best, most developer focused, game server orchestration suite that can serve not only AAA game studios but also indie developers and everyone in between, all while ensuring ease of use with a stubborn insistence on total reliability?

We have good news: we’ve found our answer.

Your Developer-First Multiplayer Server Orchestration Platform

GameFabric provides a unified platform that handles deploying, scaling, and monitoring of game servers across bare metal and cloud environments, allowing you to focus on creating innovative games.

Never before has it been so easy to orchestrate, host, manage, scale, monitor, and defend your online gaming needs and boost your multiplayer experiences to the next level.

GameFabric’s suite of dedicated multiplayer server solutions are not just state-of-the-art, they’re reliable. Built on familiar industry standards and tools, GameFabric provides a unified platform that handles deploying, scaling, and monitoring of game servers across bare metal and cloud environments, allowing you to focus on creating innovative games. It unlocks the ability to host, orchestrate, and protect your multiplayer servers with a comprehensive, easy-to-use solution no matter where in the world your players are or what kind of games they’re playing. This, paired with our bare metal meets cloud server approach, means you can allocate and scale servers effortlessly based on demand while keeping overhead costs low. GameFabric Multiplayer Servers guarantee high availability and the lowest latency possible, globally.

GameFabric also sets monitoring and profiling to easy mode by providing you with advanced tools to access critical metrics, analytics, and continuous CPU profiling, helping you identify potential issues before they become problems.

But that’s not all. With patented, industry-leading DDoS protection, GameFabric keeps your games operational and your players online using SteelShield™, our advanced DDoS protection solution for UDP and TCP protocols - the only of its class.

It’s an expansive suite, and was certainly not easy to pull off. GameFabric is the culmination of years of hard work, hurdles, struggles, lessons, and industry know-how. But it was ultimately made possible by a principal element: our team. It is these unsung heroes with countless hours of hard-won experience and battles under their belts that the GameFabric suite now sings the praises of. It is this core component that others let go unnoticed. It is this X-factor, our best-kept secret, that GameFabric now extends to you. Its threads have been painstakingly woven together by people who not only understand games but care about them. Deeply.

Whether it’s our comprehensive orchestration, multiplayer servers with high-performing, efficient bare metal and cloud compatibility, monitoring and profiling systems, or SteelShield’s DDoS protection, each thread has gone into making GameFabric the most developer-oriented platform of its kind. Below, we are happy to unravel these threads and show how GameFabric weaves its suite together.

The Threads of the Fabric

With GameFabric, we’ve set out to equip you and your team with unparalleled options for multiplayer server orchestration

Each element of GameFabric has been tailored to offer solutions that solve real developer problems and every thread is able to be fit to your needs.

GameFabric is in a unique position, it offers you the reliability and low overhead cost of our proprietary bare metal servers paired with the flexible option for cloud hyperscaling. You can choose to deploy strictly on bare metal or cloud, or benefit from a hybrid approach. This makes GameFabric more dependable and cost-effective than exclusive cloud server providers while still allowing you to quickly scale to your player demand during peak times through a number of cloud services.

Furthermore, GameFabric supports Bring Your Own Cloud. Carry your cloud contracts from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud over to GameFabric, commitments and all, and we’ll orchestrate your game servers across our data centers and any cloud provider. Migrate seamlessly across infrastructure to optimize for maximum availability and cost-effectiveness.

And because of this cloud agnosticism, you won’t have to worry about vendor lock-in with GameFabric. Enjoy the ability to migrate between hyperscalers without being locked in to pricing structures or proprietary technologies.

Only GameFabric provides such an unparalleled scalability plan.

What’s more, our Multiplayer Servers allow GameFabric to deliver the lowest latency possible, creating a responsive and immersive gameplay environment for your players. Server lag frustration is now a thing of the past. You also won’t have to worry about server maintenance or outages - we bear the burden so you don’t have to.

Sewing all our threads together into one easy-to-use web portal with a convenient, streamlined user interface makes managing your game servers a breeze. This is your command center whereby you can govern, customize, and make changes on the fly. With GameFabric, you can: 

• Effortlessly manage your server Configurations through our interface, eliminating the need for complex rebuilds or maintaining multiple versions of your game server software.
  
  
  

• Enjoy a streamlined deployment process that allows you to launch your servers seamlessly on both bare metal and cloud infrastructure, reaching players worldwide with ease.
  
  
  

• Benefit from our global operations.

• Efficiently organize and manage your short-lived and long-lived game servers that share configurations within specific regions, ensuring optimal

• Extend the functionality of your game servers by deploying Sidecar containers alongside them.
  
  
  

• Easily promote game servers using Branches to organize your stages of development, creating an efficient workflow process. And use Environments to define separate games that run on the same infrastructure to maximize hardware utilization.
  
  
  

• Utilize our optional Server Allocator to ensure fast player matchmaking.
  
  
  

• Benefit from easy and secure access to GameFabric through single sign-on (SSO) using your preferred identity providers.

GameFabric also automatically saves aggregated game server logs that are easily accessible, maximizing your visibility.

GameFabric is also on overwatch. Grafana Pyroscope-based performance profiling and Prometheus-based monitoring gives you access to important information on server health, and our Performance Profiler allows you to dig deep to analyze resource consumption and offers continuous CPU profiling. We ensure you’re always running optimally, detecting bottlenecks, identifying extraneous data, comparing server life cycles, and more. GameFabric comes equipped with these advanced features out of the box and makes them easily accessible through custom dashboards, all without significant integration effort.

If that is not enough, all GameFabric functionality is accessible through its comprehensive API. Because GameFabric has been built with a developer-centric focus, our API-first approach allows you to automate tasks within your workflow, and equips you with a Terraform provider, allowing you to define GameFabric infrastructure as code.

The possibilities are endless.

GameFabric also offers SteelShield™, the ultimate game server DDoS protection solution - and it’s not even close. The only DDoS solution of its kind, SteelShield has been built from the ground up specifically for UDP and TCP game protocols. By utilizing a unique packet signature and authentication method, SteelShield is able to authenticate network traffic, only letting verified packets through to your game server. It’s an advanced, proactive solution that works instantly and keeps your players online, even when you’re under attack. By being able to integrate directly into your game’s network stack, your unique game networks become explicitly qualified and protected. This isn’t a generalized approach, it’s a game-specific guarantee of security. 

Many companies, no matter their size, suffer from DDoS attacks from malevolent actors. Perhaps there is a streamer showcasing your game to millions of potential customers and a nefarious agent targets this streamer and by proxy your servers and players. This can bring not only your services but also your reputation crashing down. Or perhaps malicious traffic bombards you to cripple your infrastructure, creating a miserable multiplayer experience or even shutting your players out entirely. The scenarios are countless and so are the consequences. Financial loss and reputational damage are just a few of the probable results of a DDoS attack. GameFabric’s SteelShield makes these problems go away. 

We take the aggro, so your players don’t have to.

With GameFabric, we’ve set out to equip you and your team with unparalleled options for multiplayer server solutions. We know game development and game server management is anything but easy. Fortunately, it is our mission to make this process as simple as possible for you. We provide the tools, the hardware, the software, and the solutions. Moreover, we offer you the peace of mind of a computationally unbreakable DDoS protection system - something you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Paired with full access to our API, the keys to the kingdom are now yours. GameFabric has become the essential developer-first multiplayer server orchestration platform.

We boast an extremely experienced operations team who have countless years in the industry. With our developer-first approach, we solve the legitimate, complex challenges game studios everywhere face but simply don’t have the time, expertise, or resources to solve.

But what does this mean for you, specifically? It’s simple: unrivaled service.

“GameFabric has been a valuable partner in supporting the ongoing popularity of Arma Reforger following the game’s successful PS5 launch. Their Multiplayer Servers solution has streamlined the orchestration of our rapidly expanding playerbase, making it easy to spin up new game servers as needed. This ability to quickly and flexibly scale our server capacity to accommodate the influx of new Arma Reforger users has been particularly helpful in maximizing our growth and momentum.”
