OnLive, a company that provides console-quality games streamed over the internet, has announced the launch of its app for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. The OnLive app allows portable device users to play console games that they normally would not have access to.

OnLive calls its service “cloud gaming,” and it offers access to nearly 200 console and PC games without having to install them locally. The company’s servers do all of the hard crunching and processing of the game remotely, and then stream it to users’ devices. This method allows relatively slow mobile devices to play high-end games that usually require much more computing power. Users have the ability to stream the games to their devices over Wi-Fi or 4G LTE cellular networks, though the service will obviously work much better with faster connections.

The company says that over 25 games in its library, including top-tier titles like L.A. Noire, have already been adapted to the touchscreen controls that smartphones and tablets require. The rest of the games can be played with the optional Universal OnLive Wireless Controller that connects to a device over Bluetooth and costs $49.99. The OnLive service has built-in syncing across multiple devices, so users can play a game on their tablet, and then pick up where they left off on their PC with the OnLive PC app.

The OnLive app is available for free in the Android Market now and is expected to hit the iTunes App Store in the near future. The Universal OnLive Wireless Controller is expected to be available in the U.S. and UK in the near future as well. Games can be rented or purchased for play on the service, and OnLive also has subscription options available.

  • Uncertainty in the telecom sector nothwithstanding, Norwegian telecom giant Telenor today said it will invest up to Rs 15,500 crore in Indian operations in joint venture with Unitech Wireless. Group CEO Fredrik Baksaas said “peak funding” will remain within Rs 15,500 crore, while addressing an event ”Capital Markets Day, 2011′ in Norway.

 

  • Telenor, which has a mobile services joint venture in India with Unitech Wireless and operates under the brand of Uninor, had said last year that it plans to invest Rs 15,500 in 10 years in India operations. The company expects to generate a four-fold growth in its revenue target to Rs 2,500 crore from its Indian arm for the fiscal 2011-12 as compared to Rs 600 crore registered in last fiscal, Uninor Managing director Sigve Brekke said.

  • State-run BSNL’s losses have more than tripled to about Rs 6,000 crore during 2010-11 mainly due to hefty outgo for employees’ salary and expenses borne by the PSU for procuring 3G and BWA spectrum. The company had registered a net loss of Rs 1,823 crore during 2009-10.

 

  • According to the unaudited results of the company, the loss for 2010-11 is Rs 5,997 crore. The reason for widening of the losses is mainly on account of payment made to the Government to procure 3G and BWA licenses. The company had paid a total of Rs 18,500 crore for both,” a senior BSNL official said.

 

  • This resulted in loss of other income of close to Rs 4,000 crore during the year gone by. BSNL had demanded refund of this money but denied by the Finance Ministry. The total revenues of the company also declined to Rs 28,876 crore during the year, down nearly 10 per cent from Rs 32,072 crore in the previous financial year.

 

  • More than 47 per cent of the total income of the company goes for the payment made to the BSNL’s employees,” the official said indicating the PSU may resort to voluntary retirement scheme to trip its workforce in line with recommendations made expert committee. BSNL had reported the highest net profit of over Rs 10,000 crore in 2005-06 but since then its profits have been falling and in 2009-10 it reported net losses.

  • RightScale, which gives companies a good look into the innards of their cloud computing workloads, just surpassed the 3-million-server mark.

 

  • RightScale’s cloud management platform launched in 2007. It took more than two years (27 months) to get to the million-server milestone, one more year to reach two million, and then half that time to breach three million milestone, said Michael Crandell, CEO of the Santa Barbara, Calif.-based company.

 

  • Most of the workloads that RightScale manages run in the Amazon Web Services’ cloud, but RightScale’s automated management tools also work with RackSpace and other clouds. This provides customers with a single management view even if their workloads run in multiple clouds or multiple types of clouds. RightScale says it can manage a mix of private and public cloud infrastructure from that proverbial “one pane of glass.”

 

  • RightScale has also proven valuable managing hybrid cloud infrastructures, such as Zynga’s vaunted Z Cloud. Zynga uses RightScale to manage AWS-based public cloud resources and Cloud.com (now part of Citrix) private cloud infrastructure from a single interface using standard configurations.

 

  • RightScale competes with startups like enStratus, none of which can claim the scale of adoption represented by, say, three million servers. It also contends with built-from-scratch management systems.
