Title: Alternative Test Server Options
Post by: albert on May 05, 2015, 07:02:55 AM
Hi Gents,

We discussed the possibility of obtaining the use of a VM somewhere to test new games and perhaps host them.

I said I would investigate the possibility of this happening on the network I manage. Indeed there are some staff owned servers on our environment but mainly for community projects or charity awareness. They are only web servers not application servers and are run at a base OS and web server level by our sysadmins.

So unfortunately we'd not have any control or flexibility if I got us a VM and I'm sure they'd not let us run games. Sorry.

Perhaps Benny has had more luck.

Cheers,

Bert

No problem Albert, thanks for checking.   Benny is currently investigating what can be done at his end and we hope to hear shortly.  Many thanks.
