NetGrid is the term used to encompass the PSINet high-speed, international internet backbone which CyberArts calls home. In an effort to boost the speed and level of interactivity of gameplay, CyberArts is inviting all GamesGrid participants to hop on the NetGrid. NetGrid is made possible through the joint efforts of CyberArts, ProMobility Interactive, and PSINet.
The reason CyberArts chose the PSINet backbone to host the GamesGrid was to take advantage of the leading edge ATM based Frame Relay technology. While this made GamesGrid faster than any other internet based gaming environment, one road block remains, preventing GamesGrid users from experiencing breathtaking levels of speed and interactivity. This road block is the inherently slow transfer speeds associated with GamesGrid's users' local ISPs. PSINet, a corporate internet provider, has now teamed up with ProMobility Interactive to supply quality, high-speed, unlimited access to the PSINet backbone to consumers throughout North America! By joining NetGrid, GamesGrid players will be on the same internet backbone as the GamesGrid server, gving exhilerating speed and mind-numbing interactivity.
