Cloud Computing power utilized by Microsoft Xbox

Microsoft this week announced the new Xbox One. Part of this announcement was the 300,000 new servers Microsoft will launch to support their new product. Engadget have published an article detailing how Xbox will use these servers. Engadget.com.

This is a really interesting read for Cloud Computing enthusiasts as it demonstrates perfectly how the Cloud is reaching into every aspect of our lives. Now Microsoft does need to be a bit careful to ensure the system works well and looks good offline or in low bandwidth situations, but that shouldn't be hard.

 Graphics calculations are notoriously processor intensive and you'll notice this in load speeds of some high graphics games. Obviously Microsoft are keen to keep equilibrium between cost, selling price and processing power on the Xbox. So a great way to manage this is to off load those intensive calculations to the cloud and return them pre-fetched to the Xbox.

We at Noisy Cloud are very much looking forward to seeing this in action, and of course the new Xbox :)
