Company Overview

Media and Games Technologies (MGT), a division of Digital Governance Ltd., was launched in January 2006 and has offices in London and San Francisco. We are a rapidly expanding team of skilled professionals drawn from creative industries, blue chip enterprises, financial services and IT Security firms. 

 

Together we bring an impressive wealth of experience from industries that already operate secure, mission critical systems including financial trading, on-line retailing and of course, media development.

How the MGT Solution Interfaces to Your Platform

 

All MGT services interface easily to your platform through an API, which can be customized to take advantage of the MGT services you choose. MGT’s systems are built using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with published modules following SOAP (1.1 and 1.2), WSDL and WS-addressing standards. The API is available in two standard forms – as a C++ API or via a JMS message bus, with other clients potentially available on request. The client currently runs under Linux, Windows and UNIX, and is written to be portable.

 

The client has a footprint of 50 Mbytes, and a minimum of a further 500 Mbytes of disc space is recommended. Java 6 and JMS are required. A SAN or other shared storage supporting cluster-wide flock or POSIX compatible file locking is required.
