Fortress eSports & Gaming
The Fortress eSports & Gaming venue includes a 200-seat purpose build esports arena, more than 160 gaming PCs, console gaming suites, dedicated streamer pods, RPG and tabletop game play area, function rooms, a full service restaurant and two bars.
UT Consulting was engaged to provide the technology design for the landmark Melbourne venue. Our consultants worked hard to design a tailored technology solution which achieved the ambitious vision of the facility’s CEO.
Key for the project was ensuring the technology was designed for a collaborative, low latency, and highly available environment. Our team also focused on delivering technology outcomes that would maximise the end user experience given the user experience directly translates to revenue.
