Zona, Inc., the Massive Multi-Player Online Game (MMOG) server and network solution provider, today is announcing that the company has joined the Microsoft Corporation Xbox(TM) Tools & Middleware Program for MMOG middleware development. The Xbox Tools& Middleware License gives Zona, Inc. the right to develop an Xbox version of Terazona(TM), the highly scalable, secure, fault-tolerant, total server and network solution for Xbox online games. Terazona(TM) is capable of supporting tens of thousands of users on a server and drastically lessens the time-to-market for online game developers. ``Xbox is the only console that can bring online Massively multiplayer gaming to the living room,'' states Montgomery Singman, CEO of Zona, Inc. ``Currently, there are more publishers creating online games for Xbox than employees that originally engineered the console itself.''
