* * * * FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE * * * *

Wednesday, July 30---Miami, FL--- Hypernia Hosting Corp®, the leader in online hosting services and solutions for the interactive entertainment industry, is pleased to announce their new role as global online partner to U.S.-based game publisher, Thriller Publishing, due to launch their massively multiplayer online games (MMOG) based on science fiction and military themed stories from best-selling authors.

Known for providing tier-1 bandwidth for CDN, gaming and media streaming, Hypernia was carefully selected by Thriller Publishing as their official international online partner based on Hypernia’s lengthy and successful history in the online games space. Hypernia’s large volume of equipment, bandwidth and facilities around the world enable game players to enjoy a robust multi-player experience.

Based in Austin, Texas, Thriller Publishing announced its plan earlier this year to develop and publish games with military and espionage-themed serial storylines using wholly-owned content developed by published best-selling authors. Thriller has licensed novels from multiple authors, who are widely recognized and well regarded in their genres. These authors will create and develop popular new characters and storylines for MMO Games, game sequels, entire game series, movies, mobile games, and more. These will be the first-ever “book to video game” MMO’s to be developed for all major game markets including Asia, North America and Europe.

Thriller Publishing is led by industry veterans, John “Bill” Stealey, Chairman, Fred Schmidt, CEO, and Jim Bull, SVP Distribution, all of whom have worked together at legendary 1980’s-era game brand/studio/publisher, MicroProse Software. Thriller’s senior management team each have over 25 years of successful game business experience, including roles in leadership positions at Electronic Arts, NCsoft, Activision, Mattel Electronics, Strategic Marketing Partners and others.

Thriller Publishing is positioning itself as the premier FPS online MMOG developer to create original Intellectual Properties including MMOGs, books, and movies for worldwide distribution. To support this venture, which will require a massive volume of servers, Thriller Publishing has partnered with Hypernia. Specifically, Hypernia will be providing Thriller Publishing a new line of blade servers as part of its flex computing, on-demand utility hosting model built exclusively for the MMOG market. This new blade hosting program allows for ultra-fast throughput so more “game world” events can happen at one time in the world. This allows for greater interaction and special events in the games such as more elaborate worlds and intelligent NPC (non player character) dialogues.

James Vallord-Costa, CEO and co-founder of Hypernia, notes, “Thriller Publishing is seeking to develop presence in North America, Europe and Asia for all their titles and with the ‘flex computing’ capability of our on-demand utility hosting model, they will be able to produce more titles due to the fact we are providing access to millions of dollars worth of equipment and resources.”

John Stealey, co-founder and Chairman of Thriller Publishing, also offers “With Hypernia providing the super-flexibility they are known for, Thriller Publishing can now open up in new markets, enabling us to expand our brand and game awareness, and build a significant game player following with the confidence that our customers worldwide will be able to access all our servers easily and efficiently.”
