Perforce Infrastructure

Overview

Remangu Perforce Infrastructure delivers fully managed Perforce Helix Core deployments engineered for game development at scale. Studios working with Unreal Engine and Unity projects routinely manage repositories in the tens-of-terabytes range, with hundreds of concurrent users performing syncs, submits, and branching operations simultaneously. Our managed service handles the infrastructure complexity—server sizing, replica topology, storage tiering, and backup orchestration—so engineering teams focus on shipping titles.

Deployments support single-region configurations for co-located teams and multi-region replication topologies for globally distributed studios. Edge servers and commit-edge architectures minimize sync latency for remote offices, while petabyte-scale storage tiers automatically migrate cold data to cost-optimized backends without interrupting active workflows.

Key Features

• Managed Helix Core — Remangu operates and maintains Perforce Helix Core servers including version upgrades, security patching, performance tuning, and 24/7 health monitoring. Studios retain full administrative access to their depot and user configuration.
• Multi-Region Replication — Deploy commit servers, edge servers, and forwarding replicas across AWS regions to minimize sync times for distributed teams. Failover between replicas is automated and tested on a recurring schedule.
• Petabyte-Scale Storage — Intelligent storage tiering moves infrequently accessed file revisions to lower-cost storage classes automatically. Active working sets remain on high-IOPS NVMe volumes for instant access during builds and syncs.
• Integrated CI/CD — Native triggers connect Perforce events to build pipelines. Changelist submissions, branch operations, and label creation can automatically initiate Unreal Engine cook processes, Unity builds, or custom validation scripts.
• Automated Backups — Daily full backups and continuous journal replication protect against data loss. Point-in-time recovery is available with RPO under 15 minutes, and backup integrity is verified through automated restore testing.

How It Works

1. Assess — Remangu engineers analyze your current Perforce environment: depot size, user count, branch structure, and geographic distribution. We produce a migration plan with a topology recommendation and cost model.
2. Deploy — Infrastructure is provisioned using Infrastructure as Code. Commit servers, replicas, and edge servers are configured with your authentication provider, depot structure, and trigger scripts.
3. Migrate — Existing depots are migrated using Perforce-native checkpoint and journal replay processes. We validate data integrity at every stage and run parallel operations to minimize downtime.
4. Operate — Remangu manages day-to-day operations: monitoring server health, managing storage tiers, executing backups, applying security patches, and scaling infrastructure as your project and team grow.
