PRESS RELEASE — August 29, 2022 — Ninja Syndicate, one of Australia’s leading Web3 game developers, is partnering with high-performance computing (HPC) specialists DUG Technology (DUG) to support a rapidly expanding player base in the metaverse.
Since Facebook famously changed its name to Meta in 2021, the term metaverse has become synonymous with Web3 and the natural evolution of the internet.

While large organizations grapple with the implications of this emerging trend, innovative outfits such as Ninja Syndicate and DUG are poised to capitalize on the growth of the metaverse.

According to Ninja Syndicate’s CEO Alex Dunmow: “creating 3D open-world gaming environments in real-time requires a level of super reliable, on-demand data that you just can’t get from standard data centers, which is part of the reason why we’ve engaged DUG. With our goal to expand our player base to one hundred million, we must partner with the best in the business.
“We decided to partner with DUG because of its focus on sovereign capability, green computing to ensure a positive impact on our ESG footprint, security, and a dedicated Australian-based HPC support team with domain-specific expertise.”

DUG offers world-class, next-level processing, storage, and software services. Powered by some of the largest and greenest supercomputers on Earth, DUG specializes in high-performance computing as a service.
DUG Chief Information Officer Dr. Stuart Midgley said: “Our focus on performance through our GPU-powered compute and high-speed networks will enable Ninja Syndicate to provide a premium service to its gamers, allowing them to be more immersed in the metaverse.

“We see great synergy with our engagement with Ninja Syndicate, who is leading the way in metaverse expansion with its XSYN suite of tools, and its impressive track record with its debut game Supremacy: Battle Arena.”
With a global gaming market of over two billion gamers predicted to onboard into Web3 over the next decade, it’s clear the gameplay experience is fueling the need for heightened performance and security.

As Alex Dunmow further explains: “Considering the ambitious roadmap for our studio, we’re going to need some serious processing power. Just the first version of Supremacy alone involves a rolling 24/7 spectator sport, with gigantic mechs fighting in an endless battle royale, supported by their owners and directly assisted by thousands of spectators. Just imagine how enormous our data needs will be over coming years as we further unleash the interconnected power of the metaverse.”

As the demands of this interconnected technology evolve and become mainstream, users will certainly require greater fidelity and performance reliability to enable their seamless integration into the metaverse.
