In 2005, Solid State Networks started on a journey that informed our understanding of the game development process and focused our mission to serve the developer community through innovation.  Along the way, we have explored, developed, released (and discarded!) many technological solutions to a fundamental problem for games in the Internet era – managing byte delivery is an ever-present battle that studios must overcome.  It is not a stretch to say that if byte delivery were both free and instant, the SSN of today wouldn’t exist.

Our quest to optimize byte delivery at the application layer has given us the opportunity to work with some of the top studios in our industry. The complex needs of online games required fast data transfer of large files that were frequently changing drove the evolution of our technology, which we call DIRECT, to achieve what was not yet possible. We are now on our 7th generation of DIRECT, the technology that incorporates valuable knowledge and allows us to offer you powerful solutions. Power, charge, and unify your studio with Solsta so you can achieve more with your team.
